7.3 - Parking brake
1
Figure: 150454-1
To engage the parking brake, press the switch to
"1" (fig. 150454-1).
150454-2 150454-3
The parking brake properly engaged is indicated by
the lighting of the switch and by the indicator on the
instrument panel of the vehicle (fig. 150454-2).
With the parking brake engaged, the vehicle cannot
move; the hydrostatic transmission is switched off and
the wheels are braked.
The parking brake must be engaged:
• Every time the operator leave the vehicle, even in
case of momentary stop
• Whenever the vehicle operates from a standstill
even with outriggers down (if any)
The brake engages automatically when the engine is
stopped.
WARNING
Unauthorized modification of axle ratios, vehicle
weight, size of wheels and tires can affect the
efficiency of the parking brake.
NOTE
To verify the efficiency of the parking brake
contact a
DIECI
authorized workshop.
DANGER
RISKS: In case of failure of the parking
brake do not use the vehicle.
If the warning light (fig. 150454-3) turns on
intermittently, it indicates a low brake fluid level.
If the warning light (fig. 150454-3) turns on in a
fixed way, the parking brake is stuck or damaged.
Do not use the vehicle until the problem has been
solved. Contact a
Dieci
service center.
7.3.1 - Pressure gauge
Figure: 150742-1
The pressure gauge (fig. 150742-1) is used to control
the servo brake pressure. In case of anomalies and
faults, the pressure may drop.
DANGER
The pressure should not drop below 18
bar (1.8 MPa – 260 psi).
In the case of low pressure (below 18 bar) stop
the vehicle and contact an authorized Dieci dealer
to eliminate the defect.
DANGER
It is absolutely forbidden to operate with servo
brake accumulator pressure less than 18 bar (1.8
MPa – 260 psi).
