Driving With The Excavator - Kubota KX027 Operating Instructions Manual

Driving with the excavator

by the torque, which automatically shifts the drive engines from travel speed into the more comfort-
able low speed, when driving at slower speeds with a heavy load or when turning, for example. How-
ever, for safety reasons, shifting back up into travel speed must always be done manually using the
travel speed button.
