Still RX60 35-50, Original Instructions Manual

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 truck can also be braked with the service
brake by actuating the brake pedal (2). In the
first section of the brake pedal's travel, only
the regenerative braking takes effect. As the
pedal is depressed further, the mechanically
actuated service brake is also activated and
acts on the drive wheels.
DANGER
There is a risk of accident if the service brake fails!
If the regenerative braking effect noticeably deterio-
rates, a component failure may have occurred. It will
no longer be possible to sufficiently brake the truck.
–
When braking with the service brake, it may be
necessary to use the parking brake to assist the
braking process.
–
Notify the authorised service centre.
–
Do not operate the truck again until the service
brake has been repaired.
DANGER
At speeds that are too high, there is a danger that
the truck could slip or overturn!
The braking distance of the truck depends on the
weather conditions and the level of contamination on
the roadway. Note that the basic braking distance
increases with the square of the speed.
–
Adapt the driving and braking style to suit the
weather conditions and the level of contamination
on the roadway.
–
Always choose a driving speed that will provide a
sufficient stopping distance.
NOTE
If the parking brake is actuated while the truck
is in motion, the truck may decelerate with a
jerk.
