4.4  Brake system 3100
4.4.1 General
The truck has three different types of brake:
• Travel brake
• Parking brake
• Emergency brake
Travel brake
The travel brake consists of two different systems:
• Regenerative motor braking using the drive motor
• Two electromechanical multiple disc brakes fitted in the support arm 
wheels (option)
Parking brake
The parking brake is made up of a single stage electromechanical disc 
brake fitted on the drive motor and which is engaged by means of 
spring pressure. The parking brake is released electrically (DC volt
-
age).
The parking brake is activated/is active as follows:
• The parking brake is activated automatically when the truck has 
been stopped while being driven and the brake pedal is depressed 
with the truck stationary. The brake is released when the accelerator 
is depressed.
• The parking brake is activated automatically with a few seconds de-
lay when the operator leaves the truck.
• The parking brake remains active after the main power has been 
switched on.
Emergency brake
Emergency braking of the truck takes place in the event of a fault with 
the steering system or a serious fault in the electrical system.
The parking brake on the drive motor is the main emergency brake.
Motor braking can operate during emergency braking provided there is 
a supply voltage. If there are support arm brakes on the truck, these are 
also engaged during emergency braking.
