Operation – Braking
Braking
Emergency braking
Braking is normally activated using the forward-
reverse lever. The hydrostatic transmission retards
and slows the roller when the lever is moved towards
the neutral position.
There is also a brake on the engine and rear axle of
the machine which acts as an emergency brake
during operation.
For emergency braking, press the emergency
stop (2), hold the steering wheel firmly and be
prepared for a sudden stop. The engine stops.
After emergency braking, return the forward-reverse
lever to neutral and pull the button (1). If the machine
is equipped with the Interlock function, it will be
necessary to occupy the operator's seat for the
engine to start again.
Normal braking
Press the switch (3) to switch off the vibration.
Move the forward-reverse lever (4) to the neutral
position to stop the roller.
Set the speed control regulator to the idle, low
position.
Set the parking brake switch to active position.
Always use the parking brake when the
machine is standing on sloping ground.
When starting and driving a machine that is
cold, remember that the hydraulic fluid is also
cold and that braking distances can be longer
than normal until the machine reaches the
working temperature.
