Brake system
Foot switch
The foot switch is installed in the cab floor.
This component must be actuated in order
to release the electromagnetic spring loaded
brake, and at the same time keeps the driver
in the centre of the cab. The foot switch is
mounted such that it is concealed under the
rubber mat on the cab floor. This area can only
be recognised due to a slight elevation in the
floor mat. When the foot switch is actuated,
this area moves downwards slightly.
CAUTION
The foot switch must not be actuated during the
switch-on process of the truck control unit.
Otherwise, the switch-on process will be interrupted
and the information 15 will appear in the display.
If the braking process is initiated by releasing
the foot switch, the generator brake is applied
first. Towards the end of the braking process,
the spring loaded brake also comes into
action. The foot switch serves equally as the
service brake and the parking brake.
WARNING
Risk of accident
The floor of the cab must be kept free of objects.
Otherwise there is the risk that the foot switch may
be actuated and the brake is permanently released
as a result.
Service brake
In order to brake in normal operation, the
driving operating lever can also be released.
The truck is then braked electronically
NOTE
The truck braking distance is influenced by the
condition of the floor surface. The driver must
take this into account when determining his
driving and braking style.
