700- Pneumatic Gearshift and Pedals

700 - 1 Pedals

The pedal box has a large adjustment range in order to achieve the best possible

ergonomics for drivers of different stature. The individual possibilities are

described below in details.

700 - 1.1 Longitudinal Adjustment Pedal Unit

The seat is bolted firmly to the chassis. The pedal unit is mounted to a sledge

adjustable longitudinally. The adjustment range is 60 mm in 20 mm steps.

To move the pedal unit it must be released. A pneumatic valve as button is

located in the centre console. It activates a small pneumatic cylinder that

disengages the pedal unit.

Compressor

The compressed air is taken from the compressor for the gearshift. If the car is

not used for a long time, the compressed air reservoir will be empty. In this

case, the MAIN switch in the centre console must be switch on. The compressor

will start to run. As soon as it switches off automatically, there is sufficient

pressure stored in the reservoir to disengage the pedal unit.

The pneumatic valve takes the form of a button in the centre console. This

means that as long as the button is depressed the pedal unit disengages.

A gas pressure cylinder moves the sledge automatically to the rear towards the

driver, who can then move the sledge forwards by pushing the cover below the

throttle pedal plate with the heel of their right foot.

Attention

Only push the pedal unit forward using the area marked in the image below.

Pushing in other positions (e.g. on the left footrest or the brake pedal) increase

the force required and can cause the unit to jam!

When the button is released, two independent springs push the lock into the

detents. If the lock is between two detents, the next closest position can be

selected by releasing or pushing with the right heel. The lock then clicks audibly

into position and the pedal unit is locked in position. Pressing with heel again

checks whether the unit is locked safely and thus ready for use.
