3.7. USING THE PARKING BRAKE
The machine has a safety device nominated as the
“Parking Brake” which impedes the machine from
moving even if the towing commands are activated. This
device serves to impede the accidental movement of the
machine in the absence of its operator; it also serves as
an emergency stop when the operator may deem
necessary to have an instantaneous block of the machine
during worko.
PROHIBITED: It is strictly prohibited to use
the parking brake while the machine is
moving to arrest movement of the machine
unless in case of emergency.
To activate: Pull the lever lightly towards yourself
and move it to the left making it go out of its slot and then
let it go: the brake will insert itself automatically.
To deactivate: Pull the lever towards yourself
decisively and lightly and move it to the right hooking it
into the special slot to block it: the brake has been
deactivated.
WARNING –
If, when trying to deactivate the
brake, the lever resists noticeably, avoid
forcing the mechanism in that the wheel may
block. Before deactivating the brake, move
the machine forward and backward a bit unti
you have obtained the unblocking of the
device.
Emergency Brake: the parking brake serves also as
a brake in emergency situations. To carry out an
emergency brake, pull the lever towards yourself lightly,
