BRAKING
Using the reserve brake
Braking is normally done with the forward/reverse lever
(20).
The hydrostatic transmission brakes the roller when the
lever is moved toward neutral. In addition, multi-disc
brakes in the rear axle act as a parking brake and are
activated when the reserve brake knob (5) is pressed in.
To brake in an emergency, press the re-
serve/parking brake knob (5), hold the
steering wheel firmly and be prepared for a
sudden stop.
After braking, restore the forward/reverse lever to neu-
tral and pull up the reserve/parking brake knob.
Check instruments and warning lamps to see if any
faults are indicated. Switch off all lights and other elec-
trical functions.
Turn the starter switch (2) to mode
O
. Lower the instru-
ment cover (on rollers without cab) and lock it.
Normal braking
Press the switch (19) to disengage vibration.
Move the forward/reverse lever (20) to neutral to stop
the roller.
Always press the parking brake knob (5),
even for brief stops on sloping ground.
Turn the speed control back to idling, allow the engine
to idle a few minutes to cool down.
When starting up and driving a cold
machine, which implies cold hydraulic
fluid, the braking distance will be longer
than normal until the machine reaches wor-
king temperature.
