2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 Drive
The machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hy-
draulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which
pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives.
The front axle and rear axle are connected in se-
ries, which means that the front wheels and rear
wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed.
To make turning easier, both axles are equipped
with differential.
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive
belts.
2.2 Steering
The machine is articulated. This means that the
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section,
which can be turned in relation to each other.
The articulated steering means that the machine
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an
extremely small turning radius.
2.3 Safety system
The machine is equipped with an electrical safety
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if
the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must
always be checked every time before
use.
2.4 Controls
2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (3:C)
(Pro16)
To switch between working position and transport
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully.
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 Implement lifter, hydraulic (5:M)
(Pro20, Pro25, Pro Svan)
The hydraulic implement lifter only works when
the engine is running and the clutch pedal and
parking brake pedal are not depressed. The imple-
ment lifter is controlled using the lever (5:M).
The lever has the following four positions:
Floating position. Move the lever to its
front position, where it locks. The imple-
ment is now lowered to its floating posi-
tion.
In the floating position, the implement
always rests against the ground at the
