Accident risk while braking
The truck’s braking response depends largely on the floor condition and the type of
surface. The truck’s braking distance increases when the ground is wet or dirty.

The operator must be aware of floor conditions and take them into account when
braking.
u
Brake with care to prevent the load from slipping.
The truck can brake in three different ways:
–
Braking with the coasting brake (t).

Braking with the brake pedal (t).

Braking with the dead man's switch (o).

consumption. Energy is recovered, which is controlled by the traction current
controller.
