5.4.1 - Electric brake release
To tow a broken-down machine, the brakes can be released using the electric system.
If the machine needs to be towed, the drive wheels brake release is located inside the battery
bay (ground control box side).
To release the machine's brakes, the following conditions must be met :
• The platform control box or the ground control box must be selected.
• The machine must be completely stowed.
• No movement selected.
• The machine must not be tilted.
Hold brake switch upwards to activate the break release.
Push the brake release button for at least 3 s. An audible signal (beep) sounds.
Releasing the button disengages the brakes.
The brakes are re-applied automatically when the brake release button :
• is pushed again,
• any actions are taken at the control boxes,
• the machine is turned off,
• or the control box in use is changed.
Perform these operations on flat, horizontal ground. Failing that, block the wheels to immobilize the
machine. During brake release operation, the machine is in free wheel mode and the brake system no
longer functions.
