Operations

MIC 45 classic

Control lever
Depending on the model, the machine is
equipped with 2 or 4 control levers.
Function:
0 Resting position
1 lower and press down, lever will not
lock in
2 lowered, float position, work appli-
ance follows the floor contour (e.g.
snow removal shield), lever locks in
3 raise, lever will not lock in
4 Forward travel direction
With 2 control levers:
 The front attachment frame is raised
and lowered via the left control lever. If
the lever is pushed all the way to the
front, the front attachment frame is in
float position.
Note: This float position is needed
when attachments are guided along the
ground (e.g. snow plow). It is also part
of the safety equipment and must be
switched on for hydraulic operation of
other attachments.
 The right control lever is used to raise
and lower the attachment.
With 4 control levers:
 The two centre levers (optional) are
used to control the front-mounted at-
tachments.
 The right control lever is used to control
rear-mounted attachments.

Setting the motor rpm
 Throttle to the rear: Low speed
 Throttle all the way to the front: High
speed
Note: To drive and work, position the
throttle all the way in the front (high
speed); the drive speed is controlled via
the accelerator pedal.
Drive pedal
The accelerator pedal determines the driv-
ing direction as well as the speed of the ma-
chine.
 Press the accelerator pedal to the front:
Machine will move forward.
 Press the accelerator pedal to the rear:
Machine will move in reverse.
 The harder the accelerator pedal is
pressed, the faster the machine will
move. The final speed is determined by
the position selected with the speed
preselector.
 If you release the accelerator pedal, the
machine is braked using all driven
wheels and will come to a stop.
 In case of a change of direction (for-
ward/reverse), let the machine come to
a brief stop.
Speed preselector
There are 3 different speed ranges; the ma-
chine should be at a standstill while switch-
ing between them.
Top position: High speed range
–
Centre position: normal speed range
–
Bottom position: low speed range
–
Danger
Activate the emergency brake prior to leav-
ing the machine.
