Emergency braking in the event of failure of both brake circuits
Emergency braking in the event of
failure of both brake circuits
Danger.
A failure in brake circuits 1 and 2 will
jeopardise the operating safety and road-
worthiness of the bus. Stop the vehicle
immediately (traffic conditions permitting).
Have the brake system checked by an
EvoBus Service Partner immediately.
Note:
In the event of a failure in brake circuits
1 and 2, it is possible to initiate emer-
gency braking using the parking brake
lever.

Pull release ring (2). Slowly pull the
hand lever towards the Applied po-
sition (A) and hold it in the desired
position, otherwise it will automatic-
ally return to the Released position
(B).
Danger.
When performing emergency braking us-
ing the parking brake, make sure that
the parking brake lever does not engage
in the parking position. Release ring (2)
must be held in the applied position.
The bus is braked at the rear wheels
only.
Note:
It is possible to pull the parking brake
lever back to any position before the limit
position. This enables you to prevent the
rear wheels from locking and to control
the amount of braking force applied.
Danger.
Risk of accident. The anti-lock braking
system (ABS) is not operational when the
parking brake is applied. You should pay
particular attention when driving on slip-
pery roads, since the rear wheels could
lock.
