The machine is provided with two split brake pedals that make it possible to turn sharply in small work areas with many obsta- cles; with the right pedal it is possible to make sharp turns to the right, with the left pedal it is possible to make sharp turns to the left. When the pedals (2) are used individually, reduce the speed and keep the bucket as low as possible. The pedals must always be connected with each other by means of the connection pin (A) when using the higher gears and travelling on roads.
