ADVICE
Without axle suspension the vehicle height is 15 mm less than the value in the table.
Determination of the maximum height of your vehicle (figures on the previous pages)
1. Select your equipment variant in the first two rows (cab, roof)
2. Select the tyre size in the (Tyres) column
3. Read out the height data in the relevant column.
4. You can read out the vehicle width in the two first columns (Narrow, Wide).

Start-up
Daily checks and activities before start-up
If damage or defects are discovered in the following checks, they must be remedied before the vehicle
is started up. Do not use the vehicle before proper repair. Safety and protection devices must not be
removed or rendered inoperative. Permanent specified preset values must not be changed.
ADVICE
Before starting work, familiarize yourself with all functions and equipment of the vehicle.
WARNING
Danger from human error
• The vehicle must be stationary and inoperative during all checks

Accessibility (left and right side)
C270_028
The tanks on the left and right can be swung out-

wards for checks and service if necessary.
1. You can find the lock above the tail light.
2. Press button (1) and swing the tank out-
wards.

Checking tyre pressure • The rolling resistance is increased by insuf-

ficient pressure. This increases the fuel con-
sumption and tyre wear increases; driving be-
haviour is worsened
• Excessively high-pressure impairs driving be-
haviour. Tyre wear increases and reduces dri-
ving comfort
DANGER

DANGER

Danger of accident
• Driving on a slope is dangerous
because the vehicle can tip over if
the centre of gravity exceeds the
tipping limit
• Use the vehicle only if slipping,
crashing or falling over is out of
the question
The following factors reduce the risk: Figure_183
– proper loading
– low centre of gravity
– low driving speed
– no climbing
– proper tyre pressure depending on the load
– large track width
ADVICE
The driving comfort and traction of the
vehicle can be increased by reducing

Differential lock The differential lock prevents the individual drive

wheels from spinning in case of poor traction (loose
or soft ground, steep terrain, etc.).
ADVICE
1 Switch on the differential lock only in
straight-line travel, at a low driving
speed and with an engine speed of
1200 to 1500 rpm.
ADVICE
The differential lock should general-
ly be switched off when travelling in
C270_062a curves.

4. Switch on the PTO shaft and adjust the at-
tachment to the necessary rotational speed.
C270_069
In stationary mode, the vehicle can be used

for powering a variety of equipment (e.g. water
pumps, wood splitters, etc.) via the PTO shaft (1).
ADVICE
Position the vehicle horizontally in

1. Couple the stationary device with a suitable
cardan shaft to the front or rear PTO shaft.
2. Set drive programme switch to 0.
3. Set the parking brake and further secure the
vehicle with wedges.

WARNING
Danger of accident
• When attaching implements to the front and rear three-point linkages, never exceed the
permissible gross weight, the permissible axle loads or the tyre load capacity of the ve-

2. Select the desired hydraulic function.
3. Switch off the master switch (13) after the
hydraulically assisted operation has been
completed.
All hydraulic functions are switched off.

ADVICE Adjusting volume flow 0 to 25 l/min

If the master switch (13) is switched
off, the hydraulic functions are 14 14
blocked. This prevents an inadvertent
actuation of hydraulic switches or the
joystick from moving the attachment.
Use transport protection when travel-
ling on roads.
C270_079a
You can control the volume flow for all hydraulic

functions that are operated by buttons jointly using
the potentiometer (14). Other than joystick move-
ments; they are proportional.
1. Turning potentiometer (14) to the left throt-
tles the volume low.
2. Turning potentiometer (14) to the right in-
creases the volume flow.

General warnings for operating the hy-

draulic floating position
DANGER
Danger of accident
When the floating position is switched
on, a lifted implement falls quickly or
slowly to the ground, depending on
the weight.
• Never stand underneath attach-
ments or tipping systems
ADVICE
If floating position is switched on, the
attachment can be moved by outside
influences or move out of the way of
obstacles. The attachment is guided
on the ground.

Operating the joystick
ADVICE
The functions of the attachments that
are connected to the front lift or to the
hydraulic couplings at the front or the
rear are controlled with the joystick.
The couplings are colour-marked, i.e.,
an identical colour corresponds to an
identical assignment.
DANGER
Danger of accident
• Because of the variety of attach-
ments and connection possibilities,
check functions by a test run be-
fore use
• Carry out the test run at a secure
location
ADVICE
The joystick can be moved down (for-
ward) and up (backward), as well as to
the right and the left. Additional func-
tions can be activated by pressing var-
ious keys

Electrohydraulic implement relief • Lower thrust forces together with reduced fuel

Without electrohydraulic implement relief, the at-

tached implement rests with its entire weight on
the ground in floating position.
With electrohydraulic implement relief, it is possible
to transfer part of the attached implement weight
to the carrier vehicle. This results in the following
advantages:
• Improvement of traction
• Better steering and tracking of the vehicle
• Less wear and tear, e.g. on the scraping blades
of a snowplow

Tilting vehicle cab The cab can be tilted with a hydraulic device* for
repair and maintenance work. The hydraulic con-
nection* (1) for tilting the cab is located at the front
of the cab.
ADVICE
Carefully raise the cab. Take care that
no connections between the cab and
the underbody are damaged.
1. Detach the hose connection between air in-
take channel and air filter.
2. Unscrew nuts (2) and retaining plate (1) on
1 the rear side of the cab.
3. Use a separate manual hydraulic pump and
