11.5 Braking with the PR 40
Two independently working braking systems (safety systems) are used in the PARAVAN PR 40 in order to gu-
arantee the greatest possible level of safety. The PR 40 has a parking and service brake which complies with
the Road Traffic Licensing Regulation (StVZO). The functions of the individual safety systems are as follows:
> Safety during the trip: By releasing the joystick (the joystick always returns to its neutral position in the
middle) in driving mode, the motor brake automatically switches itself on and brakes the PR 40.
> Safety in the case of a power cut or interruption: If there is an interruption to the power supply, e.g. due to
a discharged storage battery, the safety magnet brake locks and the PR 40 comes to a standstill. If this is
the case, it can only be mechanically unlocked and manually moved.
