4.1 USING THE PARKING BRAKE
The machine has a safety device nominated as the “Parking Brake” which im-
pedes 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 work.
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 decisive. and lightly and move it to
the right hooking it into the special slot to block it: the brake has been eactivated.
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 back- ward a
bit until you have obtained the unblocking of the device.
Emergency Brake: the parking brake serves also as a brake in emergency situa-
tions. To carry out an emergency brake, pull the lever towards yourself lightly, move
it towards the left making it come out of the slot and let it go: the brake will insert
itself automatically.
WARNING: After the emergency brake intervention, have the integrity and the
working order of the device verified: a continued use of the machine with an
inefficient device could be dangerous for your own safety and that of others.
