4 Operation
4.8.2 Steering
• The wheel loader features a fully hydraulic,
proportionally acting articulated steering.
• Priority supply of hydraulic oil to steering through
load-sensing system.
Machine damage
due to fault which has not been remedied.
• In the event of steering malfunctions,
determine the cause immediately (see
Trouble-Shooting Table) and call for
service personnel if necessary.
4.8.3 Brakes
Service and auxiliary brake
• To bring the machine to a halt, release the
accelerator pedal (21/3). The hydrostatic travel
drive then acts as an auxiliary brake.
• Operate the brake-inching pedal (21/2) as
required.
Parking brake
• Only apply the parking brake (21/54) if the
machine is stationary.
Attention
Once the parking brake is applied (21/54),
the travel drive is deactivated.
Brake-inching mechanism
• The machine features a brake-inching mechanism
altering the relationship between travel speed and
engine speed.
• When the brake inching pedal (21/2) is operated,
travel speed is reduced - irrespective of engine
speed - until the machine comes to a stop. This
mechanism permits sensitive driving at maximum
engine speed, e. g. when loading a truck, where
fast working cycles are required.
