Abstract
Abstract The driving control is provided with a motor (1) and at least one hydraulic actuator (3) driven by the oil discharged from the hydraulic pump. A lever (5) moves a linkage (7) for setting the number of revolutions per minute of the motor, which in turn operates an operator (8) to control the hydraulic actuator. The device is further provided with a controller unit (20) connected to the operator and adapted to output a revolution number control signal, by which the set number of revolutions of the motor is increased when the displacement of the operator has exceeded a predetermined level. A revolution number control unit is connected to the controlled which is adapted to make the number of revolutions set by the lever not exceed a predetermined level, and to set the control at the required number of revolutions.
