Operation
2.2.17 Brakes
General Notes Brake lining wear is highly dependent on:
• Conditions of use, e.g. short or long distance travel
•
Flat land, mountains
• Driving style
Therefore, it may be necessary to also have the brake linings checked by
your authorised Hako dealer between the specified maintenance intervals.
The warning light
Fig. 62-136
in the indicating device lights up when the
brake linings reach the wear limit. In this case, have the brake linings
replaced by an authorised workshop as soon as possible.
The braking effect may be negatively affected by:
•
Dampness and/or coldness
•
Apply the brakes until they are dry.
•
De-icing salt
•
The salt layer on brake discs and brake linings needs to be worn off
first when braking.
•
Overheating
•
Do not "ride" the brakes by pressing the pedal lightly.
•
When driving on slopes, reduce speed in good time.
•
Utilise the braking effect of the diesel engine.
•
During long downhill stretches, also brake in intervals.
•
Drive in a forward-looking fashion.
Power brake
The power brakes work with negative pressure which is only generated
while the engine is running.
The warning light
Fig. 63-137
in the indicating device indicates brake fluid
loss.

Note
The warning light
Fig. 63-137
indicates brake fluid loss and a
fault in the vacuum system of the power brake. During a fault
in the vacuum system, the "brake maintenance" symbol is
additionally shown in the multifunction display. When the
warning light
Fig. 63-137
lights up, have the causes
inspected and repaired by an authorised workshop. Drive
slowly on your way there.

Danger
The power brake does not work when the engine is switched
off or in the event of a brake circuit failure. The brake pedal
has to be pressed much harder. Take this into account,
especially when towing the vehicle.
There is a risk of accidents!
Seek advice from an authorised workshop, drive slowly and
set considerably higher pedal powers.
