Using The Differential Lock; To Move The Machine When The Engine Is Not Working - Gianni Ferrari Turbo 1 User Manual

Using the differential lock

In case of little friction, when a front wheel skids, it is recommended to insert the front differential lock by pushing the
suitable pedal. Keep on pushing the pedal until friction is restored. The lock automatically disengages by releasing the
pedal. Turning when the lock is engaged causes the wheels to creep and turf tearing.

To move the machine when the engine is not working:

The wheels of the machine are connected by gears to the hydraulic transmission units and are therefore locked when the
engine is not working.
To move the machine when the engine is not working it is necessary to be on a levelled ground.
Proceed in the following way to move the machine in these conditions:
- engage the parking brake
- fully turn in (clockwise) the screw wheel on the left side of
the seat (see side picture No. 1), to the end of its travel. This
operation releases the hydrostatic transmission enabling the
machine to be moved, having disengaged the parking brake
- Disengage the parking brake. Pay particular attention if
operating on slopes.
- Tow the machine at a speed not higher than 5 KM and if
possible only for short distances.
- When the transmission release is no longer necessary, reset
normal operation by turning the screw wheel back to its
original position (fully anti-clockwise).
WARNING! REMEMBER TO RESET THE UNLOCKING SCREW TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION
HAVING COMPLETED THE MANOEUVRE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE MACHINE BRAKED AND
THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED.
