PEDALS
The pedal (1) is the normal vehicle-type of accelerator. It is
connected to the engine by an electric cable with electronic control.
Push the pedal to increase engine rpm and release it to reduce
speed.
The pedal (2) is the normal vehicle-type of brake. It is hydraulic type
and acts on the brake discs inside the axle.
Press the pedal to decrease machine speed.
The pedal (2) must be used as a clutch to change the mechanical gear
from stationary (Optional). To change gear: set to neutral, press the
brake pedal all the way down; press the relative button on the
dashboard and release the brake. Enter the direction of movement,
steer right and left to make it easier to engage the gear; slowly start moving.
The pedals must always be ready to be actuated with no hindrance. The pedal area must
be free from objects that could end up under the pedals. No mats or other floor covering
must be used.
All pedals must be able to return to their original position with no hindrance.
When the machine is moving at fast speed, pushing the brake pedal (2) completely is dangerous for yourself
and the machine, in fact:
•
Pressing the pedal more than necessary can cause sudden braking
•
Stopping the machine suddenly can cause the load being transported to fall
•
Sudden braking can cause physical trauma caused by the safety belt that should be fastened.
Combined inching function
The machine is equipped with an inching function, which allows precision handling operations to be
performed. Use this feature by pressing the brake and accelerator pedal simultaneously. Briefly releasing
only the brake pedal, the machine moves in a slowly and gradually. The inching function can be used by
pressing the brake pedal slightly; if it is pressed completely, the machine stops.
Service brake
Push pedal (2) to slow down or stop the machine; the action is transmitted to the servo brake valve which
acts on the brake discs inside the front differential axle. As an assisted servo brake, the pressure applied on
the pedal does not change the braking force very much. Even if pressed slightly, it brakes immediately. The
active parts of the parking brake systems are built into the front axle; the service brake also only acts on the
front axle and not on the rear axle.
It consists in disks in oil bath, a system that guarantees long-lasting efficiency, as well as being
maintenance-free It is hydraulically operated. By pushing the pedal, the brake valve box moves sending oil
towards the brake box, pressing the brake discs together.
When the pedal is not pressed, the brakes are free. With the machine off, the parking brake is
automatically engaged.
In fact, if the vehicle is with the Diesel engine off but with the ignition key in position 1, a pressure
accumulator in the system guarantees a number of brakes until the relevant low pressure LED on the
