Tomberlin E-MERGE, Operator'S Manual

Page: 26 / 44

Your E-Merge is equipped with 4+Wheel Brakes.
• The main pedal braking is done on all four wheels with a
hydraulic brake system which includes front wheel disc brakes
and rear wheel drum brakes. This system requires periodic
inspection for brake pad wear, drum/rotor wear and hydraulic
fluid loss. Consult your Tomberlin Dealer or qualified Technician
if excess wear or if fluid loss is noted. Do not attempt to move
the vehicle.

• The second braking system is an electronic motor brake
that will activate when the E-Merge comes to a complete
stop, the key is turned off or the batteries are below 24
volts.
• Additional braking utilizes the E-Merges electric motor. It will
limit your top speed to while going downhill by transferring
some of the excess energy back into the batteries. It will also
engage to slow the vehicle if it starts to roll-away once
stopped.
