Accelerator pedal
The accelerator pedal is used to accelerate and decelerate the ma-
chine.
•
Acceleration: carefully increase the pedal pressure.
•
Deceleration: carefully decrease the pedal pressure.
•
Rapid deceleration: take foot off the pedal.
•
Maximum deceleration: press the pedal slightly in the opposite
direction.
The accelerator pedal allows the forward and reverse driving speeds
to be controlled continuously.
Forward drive:
•
to drive forwards, press the pedal forward (A).
•
0 to 12 km/h
Reverse drive:
•
to drive in reverse, press the pedal to the rear.
•
0 to 6 km/h
To stop the machine, take your foot off the pedal. The pedal can also
be pressed back a little to brake more quickly.
Parking brake
•
When the parking brake is applied, the accelerator pedal is
blocked.
•
Thanks to an additional circuit, the driver can leave the driver's
seat when the parking brake is applied and the cutting deck is
switched off, without the engine switching itself off. This prevents
constant restarting of the engine after leaving the seat.
This protects the engine, starter and battery.
Securing the parking brake:
Press the locking pedal downwards so that the accelerator pedal engag-
es. Secure the parking brake with the hand lever of the locking mecha-
nism.
Only let go of the locking pedal once the hand lever has been correctly
engaged.
Releasing the parking brake:
To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal downwards and
release the locking mechanism with the hand lever.
•
When the parking brake is released, the engine cannot be start-
ed.
•
When the parking brake is applied, the cutting deck cannot be
started.
