3.2. Description of the individual elements Operation 1. Brake pedal If you are driving downhill, let the engine run and use the braking effect of the engine. If required, brake additionally using the brake pedal. Danger of accidents due to unintentional braking! Do not use the brake pedal as a foot rest. The brake is operated via a combined brake/inch pedal. The inch- ing exerts an additional braking effect on the hydrostatic drive system. 2. Parking brake As soon as you pull the parking brake lever from its normal posi- tion, the braking action comes into effect. If the start switch is set to the 'I' operating position, the parking brake warning light lights up in the instrument panel.
The machine will drive again, if you re- loosen the parking brake. NOTE You cannot start the machine with the parking brake being applied. If you set the driving direction switch to the 'F' posi- tion (forward driving) or 'R' (reversing) with the parking brake still being applied, the alarm buzzer will sound. 3. Steering column adjustment The lever (2) for adjusting the steering column (1) position permits to incline the steering column smoothly in two directions (front or back).
