Braking

The braking pattern of the truck depends largely on the track conditions. The driver

must take this into account when operating the truck.

Braking with the Service Brake:

– Set the tiller (5) up or down to one of the brake

zones (B).

The service brake is the generator brake. Only

when this brake fails to achieve the necessary

brake force is the mechanical brake applied.

Plugging:

– You can set the travel switch (7) to the opposite

direction when traveling.

– The truck braked regeneratively until it starts to move in the opposite direction.

Braking with the Coasting Brake:

If the travel switch is set to 0, the truck automatically brakes regeneratively.

In hazardous situations set the tiller to the brake position.

Driving on inclines

Loads must always be carried on the end of the truck facing uphill.

Preventing the truck from “rolling downhill”:

– With the travel switch set to zero, the brake is automatically applied after a short

jerk (the controller detects the truck is rolling back on the slope). The service brake

is released again via the travel switch, which is also used to select the speed and

the travel direction.
