WARNING

The hydrostatic transmission calls for high engine speed, giving the main hydraulic pump its

maximum drive and braking performance. For this purpose :

adjust the accelerator lever progressively to an engine speed of a minimum of 1800 to 2000

r.p.m. before moving off.

TWO WHEEL STEERING

The steering is of the hydrostatic type. If the pump fails to work, the steering can be operated in a

closed circuit by means of the ‘’ORBITROL’’ distributor.The pump also operates the hydraulic cir-

cuit by means a priority valve.

With a distributor, 2 position pick-ups, a switch and a pedal, the 2-wheel steering functions can be

used.

- Set the switch to ‘AUTO’.

- Turn the steering control so as to place the rear wheels in

straight position; the‘REAR’ warning lamp goes on.

In this operating mode, only the front wheels can steer and

the rear wheels remain straight
