ATTENTION
Other than in a normal motorcar, releasing the accelerator pedal
abruptly reduces the speed.
The braking force applied when you release the accelerator ped-
al is weaker in higher gears and stronger in lower gears.
The braking force applied when you release the accelerator ped-
al in transport mode is significantly weaker than in working mode.
Pressing the accelerator pedal increases the engine speed.
The accelerator pedal is sprung. Releasing the accelerator pedal
reduces the engine speed.
The hydrostatic drive brakes or stops the vehicle when the accel-
erator pedal is released.
