CAUTION
Risk of accident
Do not let go of the accelerator pedal abruptly during driv-
ing. The vehicle will be braked when the accelerator pedal
is released. The vehicle will be decelerated to a lesser ex-
tent when the accelerator pedal is released in transport
mode rather than in operating mode.
CAUTION
Risk of damage
Make sure that the vehicle does not become stuck when
driving over obstacles.
Drive over obstacles up to 150 mm slowly and carefully at
an angle of 45°.
Obstacles above 150 mm may only be driven over using a
suitable ramp.
CAUTION
Risk of accident
When driving on public roads for transport purposes (and
not when cleaning of public roads), switch off the PTO and
close the lowering choke for the front power lift.

Front power lift

A 4-point mount (option) can be fitted to the front power lift.
The corresponding attachments can be attached to this.
Certain attachments can also be directly attached to the
front power lift.
ATTENTION
Risk of injury and damage
Ensure that the permissible axle load is not exceeded
when fitting attachments to the front power lift.
You are not permitted to operate the front power lift when
persons are in the vicinity of the front power lift and fitted
attachments.
Ensure that attachments fitted to the front power lift do not
touch or damage the vehicle.
8.5.1 Setting the lowering speed of the front power lift
Rotary knob, lowering speed
1
1. Switch off the PTO (working hydraulics).
2. Select the front power lift lowering speed using the rota-
ry knob.
a Turning clockwise: The lowering speed is reduced.
The front power lift is blocked at the limit stop
Note: This function is needed for transport journeys
on public roads in order to disable the front power lift
and thus the lowering of the attachments.
b Turning anticlockwise: The lowering speed is in-
creased
8.5.2 Attachment release and vibration dampening
(optional)
The attachment release is used in order to move the load
from one attachment fitted on the front power lift towards
the vehicle's front axle.
For example: If a mower deck is being used, the forces in
the ground are reduced by the mower deck in order to re-
duce damage to the ground due to the wheels spinning;
especially when driving uphill.
