– Reducing the engine speed: Take your foot off the drive pedal
(14).
Taking your foot off drive pedal (14) does not only reduce the
travel speed, but also brakes the wheel loader. When driving
downhill the desired travel speed can be adjusted with the
drive pedal and the inching brake pedal (15). On slopes you
should therefore take the drive pedal (14) fully back and kick
down the inching brake pedal (15), the wheel loader will then
come to a halt.
