Operation - controls


Stopping engine

Before stopping engine ensure vehicle has completely stopped, apply handbrake and select 'Park'.

Allow engine to slow idle for at least 10 seconds before stopping particularly if you have been running at high engine revs to avoid damage to the turbo-charger bearings. If the engine stalls at any point, try to restart immediately.

To stop engine turn key anticlockwise.

Handbrake

Situated at the left hand side of the operators seat. This should not be applied, other than in an emergency, whilst the vehicle is in motion or transmission damage may result.

A visual warning illuminates on the ICM monitor (see following pages) when the handbrake is applied and an audible alarm will sound if the machine is moved whilst it is still applied.

The brake operates on the rear drive shaft which may result in a slight movement of the vehicle after it is applied.

Power steering

When turning do not hold the steering tight on full lock as this will cause the relief valve to blow off and the hydraulic system to overheat. Do not turn the steering whilst the Stealth is stationary particularly when on hard surfaces. This causes unnecessary, excessive pressures in the steering system especially when wide tyres are fitted.

For information on the optional four wheel steering system please see appendix 1 towards the rear of this manual.

Steering column adjustment

To adjust the steering wheel position re4lease the latch on the rear of the column. The wheel can then be move backwards and forwards and in and out until you find the most comfortable driving position. Re-lock by pushing the latch doen. Do not adjust whilst driving!
