BRAKING
Two foot pedals operate the service brakes. For
normal brake operation, either brake pedal may
be depressed to apply the brakes. Releasing of
the brake pedal releases the brake.
IMPORTANT
The track drive system is strong enough to
overpower the braking system. For this
reason, the pump swash plate must be
neutralized before braking. Under certain
conditions described below, this can be
taken care of automatically, using the Quick
Stop Mode. Otherwise, the operator must
manually neutralize the track drive system
using the control levers (SLOWLY).
QUICK STOP MODE OF BRAKING
(5 MPH or SLOWER)
The Quick Stop Mode of Braking allows the
operators to stop the machine while working at
low speeds (5 mph or slower) using only the
brake pedal. When the Quick Stop Mode is
activated, application of either brake pedal
automatically neutralizes the pump swash plate,
enabling the operator to stop the machine more
quickly.
Use Quick Stop Mode only while working in
second or third gears and when working at
speeds slower than 5 mph.
For speeds greater than 5 mph, the Quick Stop
Mode MUST be deactivated and the track drive
system neutralized or the track drive system
could become damaged.
PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKES
Your machine is equipped with a fail-safe brake
system. If there is a loss of air pressure, the
brakes are spring applied.
The parking brake is activated by a valve
located on the control panel. This valve
exhausts air from the spring brake chambers,
permitting spring force to apply the service
brakes. To operate the parking brake:
1. Pull valve to apply brakes.
2. Push valve to release brakes.
Always apply the parking/emergency brake
before leaving the cab and when stopping
for extended periods.
