CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS Items 1 - 19, see figures 1 - 7. 1. IMPLEMENT LIFTER (President - Comfort - Royal - Pro16) A pedal for raising front-mounted implement to the transport position. To lift up the implement, press the pedal down as far as it will go. Then release the pedal, the implement lifter is now locked in the raised position. To lower the implement, press the pedal down sothat the lock is released. Lower the implement lifter to the working position by slowly lifting your foot from the pedal. 2. HYDRAULIC LIFTER (Pro20) Hydraulic implement lifter for raising front- mounted implements to the transport position. To raise the implement, press the rearpart of the switch. Release the switch in the required position. To lower the accessory, press the front part of the switch. The switch stays in the pressed position and the implement lifter is lowered until itreaches a floating position. This means that the implement can follow the contours of the ground. The floating position, with the switch in the tilted forward position, is recommended for normal use. To secure the implement lifter, place the switch in neutral. NOTE! The hydraulic implement lifter must be in floating position in order for the power takeoff to be connected. 3. SERVICE BRAKE A pedal that acts on the machine’s braking system. There are 3 positions: 1. Pedal released – service brake not activated. 2. Pedal depressed halfway – forward drive disengaged. Service brake not activated. 3. Pedal fully depressed – forward drive disengaged. Service brake fully activated. 4. PARKING BRAKE An inhibitor that can lock the brake pedal in the depressed position. Depress the brake pedal fully. Move the inhibitor to the right and then release the brake pedal. The parking brake is released by pressing the brake pedal. The spring-loaded inhibitor slides to one side. Make sure that the parking brake is released when operating the machine. ENGLISH EN ENGLISH EN 5. DRIVE PEDAL A pedal that activates the variable transmission. 1. Depress the pedal with the ball of your foot – the machine moves forwards. 2. No load on the pedal – the machine is stationary. 3. Depress the pedal with your heel – the machine reverses.
