7.5 Brakes
The brake pattern of the truck depends largely on the travel route conditions. The driver must take
this into account when travelling.
The truck can brake in different ways:
－ By inversion braking (controller)
－ By regenerative braking (coasting)
－ With the tiller in zone "B"
－ With the Emergency Disconnect (in emergencies)
Inversion braking
Procedure:
－ During travel, set the travel switch (18) to the opposite direction.
The truck brakes are regenerative until it starts to move in the opposite direction.
Regenerative braking
Procedure:
－ If the travel switch (18) is set to 0, the truck automatically uses regenerative brakes.
The truck brakes to a halt regeneratively via the coasting brake. The brake then applies.
Braking with the tiller in the "B" zone
Procedure:
－ Move the tiller up or down to one of the brake zones (B).
The truck will decelerate at the maximum rate and the brake will apply.
CAUTION
When release the control handle, the handle swivel into the braking range slowly or
nor enter braking range, do check the reason and eliminate the fault. Replace gas
spring if necessary.
Emergency Disconnect
Procedure:
－ Press the Emergency Disconnect switch (9).
All electrical functions are deactivated. The truck brakes to a halt.
WARNING
Do not use the Emergency Disconnect switch (9) as a service brake.
Applying the Emergency Disconnect switch during trave has a higher risk of
accidents and injury !
