differential inhibitor engaged. Works for 
both forward and reverse drive.
The differential inhibitor is of greatest use 
when the rear wheels are unevenly loaded. For 
example when turning sharp corners where the 
inner rear wheel bears a lesser load.
When driving during the winter on slippery 
surfaces, the drive capacity is improved if snow 
chains are not used.
When the differential inhibitor is engaged, the 
steering is heavy. Avoid turning the steering...

STEERING AID (Pro20)Built-in function in order to facilitate steering. The 
operator only has to turn the steering wheel gently. 
A hydraulic torque amplifier creates the remaining 
force.
As opposed to normal servo steering (e.g. in a car), 
the steering aid has a limited capacity. This means 
that it has some characteristics that might be 
considered negative:
- at a low engine rpm or in situations where extra 
steering force is needed, steering can be 
considered to be “jumpy”.
- the...

Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of 
operation or at least once a season) if the engine 
has to operate under demanding conditions or if 
the ambient temperature is high.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is 
drained off directly after the engine is 
shut off. So allow the engine to cool a 
few minutes before draining the oil.
1. Oil drain pipe (metal):
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe. 
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take

The hydrostatic transmission is filled with oil 
(10W-40) on delivery from the factory. Unless it is 
opened (only to be performed by a specialist), and 
provided no leakage occurs, no topping up with oil 
should normally be carried out. Transmission oil 
does not normally need to be changed.
