Braking

The braking behaviour of the truck strongly depends on the state of the floor. This

must be taken into account by the driver for his driving behaviour.

The truck can be braked in three ways:

- by using the generator brake (controller (2))

- by counter-current braking (controller (2))

- by using the service brake (control shaft (12))

Braking using the generator brake:

- Release the controller (2).

Counter-current braking:

- While driving, switch the controller (2) to the opposite direction.

- The truck is decelerated by counter-current braking until it starts moving in the

opposite direction.

In case of emergency, the service brake must be used to brake the truck.

Braking using the service brake:

- Tilt the control shaft (12) upwards or downwards into one of the braking ranges (B).

Accelerating on slopes

The load must face uphill!

The slope to be negotiated must not exceed 10 m in length:

- without load: 10 %

- load of 600 kg: 5 %

- load of 1000 kg: 3.5 %

Do not negotiate slopes exceeding the values given above with the EMC/EMB.

Successive slopes may only be negotiated after longer breaks.

To prevent the truck from rolling downhill when the control shaft is tilted into the

driving range (F), proceed as follows:

- Tilt the control shaft (12) into the braking range (B).

- Turn the controller (2) into the direction of travel (direction of the fork) until reaching

the stop.

- Tilt the control shaft into the driving range (F).
