10.0 Operation of the brake pedal/parking brake
The Verti-Drain
®
has two brake pedals that can be found on the left side of the machine (see
fig. 18). The shorter of the two is the brake pedal (1). The long one that is also nearest to the
pedal that sits on the frame is the parking brake (2) and is only used to lock the machine
when it is standing still. The brake design also operates in such a way that when the brake
pedal (1) has been pressed, the parking brake (2) will also have been pressed.
To ensure that the Verti-Drain
®
is on the parking brake (2), it must be completely
pressed. The machine will remain in the brake position because the pawl will now
stay behind the frame.
You must press the brake pedal to take the machine off the parking brake (2). Allow
the pedal to slowly come up so that the parking pedal is released from the frame
through the spring at the bottom of the pedal.
* Never use the parking brake as a normal brake pedal. The machine could lock
unexpectedly
