INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 7 - HAND ACCELERATOR q The use of the hand accelerator is allowed only under the conditions specified below; use in any other condition may cause serious accidents. The hand accelerator can be used only when the engine is warming up and successively only when it is necessary to work with the backhoe; it can also be used for certain maintenance operations. Idling position: pull the lever completely backward. Max. speed position: push the lever completely forward. q The maximum speed position corresponds to 1900–2000 rpm. For a correct use of the lever, keep to the indications given on the plate (C) applied inside the right dashboard.
If possible, avoid using the machine with the lever completely pushed forward, since in this way consumption will be considerably increased and the life of both the engine and the machine shortened. The plate (C) is characterized by two coloured areas, the green area “ A ” and the red area “ B ”, referring to different engine speeds: q Green area “A” : this area indicates an engine speed of 1700 rpm, which is the value recommended to the operator. A B q Red area “B” : this area indicates an engine speed up to 1900 ± 50 rpm, which is the maximum speed allowed for the use of the backhoe. The engine speed can be checked on the revolution counter positioned on the right dashboard.
