OPERATION OF THE MACHINE50
BAccelerator Pedal
This pedal controls engine rpm. The more the pedal is
pressed, the greater the engine rpm.
A When the pedal is released, the engine speed will
drop.
A The engine rpm suitable for traveling the machine on
a plain ground is about 1,100 to 1,200 rpm, though
depending on the situations; i.e. ground condition,
weather, etc.
Press the accelerator pedal gradually when starting
the machine.
BInching and Brake Pedals
Press either pedal down slightly, then the HST pump
comes in neutral and cuts off the engine power on the way
of the transmission, that is so-called dynamic brake,
unique to HST (Hydrostatic Transmission).
When pressing it further, the disc brake acts together to
obtain strong braking effect.
For the details of inching and brake pedal, refer to the
section "HOW TO USE THE INCHING AND BRAKE
PEDAL".
