)IMPORTANT! Don’t change gears during driving. When shifting, move the lever cautiously in
the outmost position. When the lever is not well engaged, it can move to neutral
position, so the hydrostatic driving and braking will not function!
4 How to use your machine
4.1 Starting
¾Switch all hydraulic functions (switches 20 to 23, 44 to 45) off, move the speed control pedal (10) to the
neutral position and engage the parking brake (13).
¾Read also the operation manual engine for further instructions.
¾Check if the warning lamps of the charging current (32) and the oil pressure (34) light when you turn the key
(29) to ON position and the engine doesn't run.
¾GASOLINE:Move throttle lever (11) to medium position, and pull choke out if starting a cold engine and start
the engine. Push choke in immediately after starting.
¾DIESEL:Move throttle lever (11) to medium position, turn key to PRE-HEAT position and hold until lamp (35)
goes out and start the engine.
¾Allow engine and hydraulic oil to warm up for a few minutes with throttle lever in medium position. Move all
cylinders totally in and out before you go driving.
4.2 Stopping
¾Switch all hydraulic functions off, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine and remove the key.
4.3 Driving
Shifting high and low gearing
Low gearing: press the lever (12) to the left and move it into the lowest position. Use this gearing for driving over
beaten roads and with light load.
Low gearing: press lever (12) to the left and move it into the upper position. Use this gearing for off-road driving,
on slopes and at heavy load or with trailer.
Neutral position: when lever (12) is in the medium position, the transmission is shifted neutral. The hydrostatic
driving and braking don't function.
4.4 Speed control:
With the drive pedal (10) you control the driving speed together with the revolutions of the engine. Forward
kicking moves the machine forward. Backward kicking moves the transporter backward. In the neutral position
the machine brakes (working brake).
4.5 Brake padel:
Use the brake pedal (18) to stop the machine in a short time. This brake is emergency brake if the hydraulics
should fail.
4.6 Parking brake:
Press the brake pedal (18) full down and move the lever of the parking brake (13) down, so that the pedal is set
in the lower position. To disengage the parking brake, press the brake pedal (18) full down and move the lever
of the parking brake (13) upward.
)NOTE! Let the engine run after heavy load to cool the machine.

Usermanual NIMOS Micro-Trac Page 12
)IMPORTANT! Don’t steer your transporter while using the differential lock.
4.7 Differential lock:
The differential lock can be shifted during driving by kicking the pedal (14) in with your left heel. Use this when
one of the rear wheels is slipping or blocking.
¾The danger zone must be well survey able for the driver all the time. For good view, it is necessary that
windows and mirrors are clean and that the mirrors are well adjusted.
¾If machine stops going uphill, disengage PTO (attachments drive) and backup slowly. Look behind you before
backing up.
4.8 Load
On the type print you find the masses and allowed loads of your transporter. Take care that the maximum load
is not exceeded.
Spread the load equally in the platform and close all sides after loading. Ensure all sides are closed before
driving. Take care that during transport no load drops from the platform.
4.9 Tipping
Place the transporter on a flat and solid underground and check if the pins are put in at the good side of the
platform. Open the side before tipping.
Let the tipping platform lower before driving and shift the tipping switch (22) after lowering the platform in the
neutral position.
)CAUTION! The maximal allowed transverse slope during operation of the machine is 15% in both
directions.
)CAUTION! When tipping, one has to take care that there are no persons in the direct
neighbourhood of the platform, because there exists a danger of jamming during
lowering the platform.
)WARNING! Never tip sideways when extra sides mounted!

5 Implements
Before (de)coupling: stop the machine and disengage all hydraulic functions (switches 22 and 50 to 57).
Engage the parking brake. Read the manual of the implement carefully.
5.1 Coupling
¾Check if coupled implements don't endanger the stability of the machine. Here you will find the maximum
weights and dimensions:
frontlift rearlift
distance centre of gravity to centre front axle: 1000 mm. rear axle: 850 mm.
max. weight of implement 150 kg. 200 kg.
¾Extra implement pump supply’s 21l.min at 3600 Rpm with 175 bar of pressure
always check the required power of the implement
¾Bolt all pins and strips after coupling implements.
¾Clean dirty quick couplings before coupling.
¾Couple the lift cylinder to the Single Acting quick coupling (H).
¾Couple the swivel cylinder to the Double Acting quick coupling (DW / two couplings).
¾Couple the working hydraulics to the working quick couplings (EW / two couplings).
¾Lower coupled implements when you stop the transporter.
5.2 Decoupling
¾Place the implement on a flat and solid underground.
¾Decouple all hydraulic hoses.
¾Put protection caps and plugs in when the implements are decoupled.
¾Disconnect all pins and strips.
5.3 Instructions towing the machine
¾Shift the reduction in the rear axle in the neutral position (high/low gearing) (lever 12).
¾Use the parking brake (13) when you must stop.
¾Maximum speed at towing is 3 km/h.
)IMPORTANT! Don’t tip the platform backward when the rear lift is mounted!
