Braking

The braking effect of the truck is mainly depending on the road surface. This must be

taken into account by the driver for his driving behavior.

The truck may be braked in three ways:

- Using the service brake (control shaft (4)),

- Using dynamic braking (roll-off brake can be adjusted by the service),

- Using the counterflow brake (adjustable via driving switch (6)).

For standard driving operations, only the dynamic brake and that counterflow brake

are to be used, since these brake types are reduce wear and tear and help to save

energy (energy return supply).

Braking with the service brake:

In case of danger, the truck must be braked with the service brake (control shaft (4)).

– Swivel control shaft (4) upwards or downwards into one of the braking ranges (B).

The drive motor is mechanically braked.

When the control shaft (4) is released, it swivels into the upper braking range (B).If

the truck is parked, the service brake is used as parking brake

Dynamic braking (roll-off brake):

– After releasing the driving switch - driving switch set to zero - the truck is braked

with the help of the dynamic brake (roll-off brake), depending on the selected set-

ting.

If the roll-off brake was deactivated by the service, only service brake and counterflow

brake are available.

Braking with the counterflow brake:

If the control system or driving mechanism breaks down, the counterflow brake beco-

mes ineffective.

– Turn driving switch (6) into the opposite driving direction until the truck comes to a

standstill.

The braking effect depends on the position of the driving switch.
