8.2.1 Accelerator

ATTENTION
Other than in a normal motorcar, releasing the accelerator
pedal abruptly reduces the speed.
The braking force applied when you release the accelera-
tor pedal is weaker in higher gears and stronger in lower
gears.
The braking force applied when you release the accelera-
tor pedal in transport mode is significantly weaker than in
working mode.
Pressing the accelerator pedal increases the engine
speed.
The accelerator pedal is sprung. Releasing the accelerator
pedal reduces the engine speed.
The hydrostatic drive brakes or stops the vehicle when the
accelerator pedal is released.
