the inching-and-brake-pedal slightly while
pressing the accelerator pedal to approach an
object slowly.

rpm when the inching-and-brake-pedal is used to
approach slowly. Bucket-operation-speed is thus
maintained.

the machine to approach to the desired stop

• The traveling speed automatically decreases to
prevent the engine stalling as the external load
increases.
• During traveling with bucket operation, the
traveling speed abruptly increases at the time of
dumping operation since the external load
changes at that time.
3. Use the inching-and-brake-pedal and concentrate
the power to the attachment operation near holes or
slopes.
