Operating the service brake
The regenerative brake converts the accelera-
tion energy of the industrial truck into electri-
cal energy. This causes the industrial truck to
brake.
–
To do this, release the accelerator pedal
(1).
–
If the braking effect is inadequate, use
the brake pedal (2) to actuate the service
brake. In the first part of the brake pedal
travel, both the electric brake on the rear
wheels and the mechanical brake on the
front wheels have an effect. The mechani-
cal brake on the rear wheels also has an
effect when the brake is depressed further.
Electrical braking recovers energy for the bat-
tery. This results in a longer operating time be-
tween the charging processes and less wear
to the brakes.
The strength of the electric braking can be
adjusted via the ABE.
DANGER
Risk of accident! If the service brake fails, the in-
dustrial truck no longer brakes sufficiently.
If the driver notices that the regenerative braking ef-
fect has reduced by 50% and that the drive torque
has decreased to 50% of the normal level, a compo-
nent failure may have occurred.
–
Brake the industrial truck to a standstill. Use
the parking brake if necessary to assist in this
process.
–
Notify the authorised service centre.
–
Do not operate the industrial truck again until the
service brake has been repaired.
