2.2.6Instructions concerning hydraulic parts
The machine and its attachments contain hydraulic components. These involve specific
dangers:
•The hydraulic oil heats up during use. Contact with hot hydraulic oil can lead to burns.

3.8Operating principle: driving the wheels
Hydraulic wheel motors drive the wheels of the machine, one motor per wheel. The
hydraulic pressure comes from a hydraulic pump that is driven in turn by a diesel engine.
The gas pedal of the machine controls the speed of the diesel engine and thus indirectly
the power and the speed of the hydraulics. The inching pedal can be used as a brake
pedal.
Example
You can use the inching pedal simultaneously with the gas pedal, for example to
drive slowly across rough terrain or to lift heavy loads slowly. Simultaneously
operate the gas pedal (for the power) and the inching pedal (to limit the speed).
When you press the inching pedal all the way in, the machine stops.
