Still RX60-60, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 325 / 408

CAUTION
Component damage as a result of blocked brakes!
The truck is equipped with a negative spring-operat-
ed brake. As a result, when you switch off the truck,
the multi-disc brakes in the drive wheel units block.
For towing, the brake must be released at the brake
valve. Otherwise, the truck is towed with the wheels
blocked.
Once the spring-operated brake is released, pres-
sure builds up gradually again in the brake hy-
draulics. The brakes can block again. Note the tow-
ing time when the key switch is switched off. The
towing process must be interrupted in each case and
the brake released again.
