Driving

Driving Safety

• Check that all the gauges and indicators are op-
erational. Ensure the readings are correct. (Refer
to Operator's Controls) for the correct readings.
• Wait until there is sufficient air pressure {750kPa
(109psi)} before driving the machine.
• Check that there are no personnel on or around
the machine before driving the machine.
• Securely lock all doors and bins or any other
moveable equipment that may cause a hazard
during travelling.
• Check the steering and brake functions and con-
firm that the reverse alarm sounds when reverse
is selected.
• Sound the horn before moving off. (Refer to Auto-
matic Horn Option following in this section)
• Press the Park Brake Switch to apply park brake.
The LED above the switch will flash until the
switch is pressed again to release the park brake.
• The park brake will only release after a gear is se-
lected or service brake is applied.
• The CDU Park Brake Applied Indicator will dis-
play the actual position of the park brake.
• Keep the service brakes applied while engaging/
disengaging the park brake.
• The park brake is automatically applied when the
machine is switched off irrespective of whether
the park brake switch is "ON" or "OFF".
• When the transmission is in neutral and the serv-
ice brakes are not applied immediately, the park
brake will automatically be applied.
• When the machine is started the park brake will
still be applied and the switch must be switched
off to release the park brake.
• When the ignition is turned off the park brake will
automatically be applied.
Automatic Horn Option
If the automatic horn option is enabled, the horn will
be activated automatically as follows:
• When the operator presses the engine start but-
ton (after entering his code), the horn will sound
twice before the engine starts.
• When the operator presses the drive button, the
horn will sound once as a forward gear is
engaged.
• When the operator presses the reverse button,
the horn will sound twice as the reverse gear is
engaged.

Gear Shifting

Do not allow the machine to free wheel (coast in neutral)
as this will cause damage to the transmission.
Do not continually select from 1st forward to 1st
reverse as this will cause damage to the transmission.
The transmission has 7 forward gears and 1
reverse gear with automatic lock-up in all gears.
The transmission can be operated as a fully
automatic transmission. All automatic gear shifting
will be controlled by the machine's electronic
control unit.
The transmission control unit does not allow shifting
from neutral to a gear when the engine speed is
above 900 rpm. If D is selected while the engine
speed is above 900 rpm. the shifter display will
blink. Select N again, let engine return to idle and
re-select D.
Gear shifting in automatic is dependent upon
engine speed and operating conditions (on site
conditions).
Gear selection from Neutral is not possible if the
park brake is not applied. (Park brake can only be
released while in neutral when the service brakes
are applied).
The engine torque is reduced to 0% by the software
until neutral to gear engagement is completed.
