3.28 Brake/inching pedal
Specific notices on brake/inching pedal operation
Brake/inching pedal 27 is located on the left in the machine.
In order to achieve the best hydrostatic braking effect:
• Before operating the machine, let the diesel engine warm up
at low idling speed (1/4 throttle) for about 30 seconds
(operating temperature about 20 to 30 °C).
The wheel loader has a hydrostatic service brake for reasons of design (wheel motors).
The machine is braked by reducing the pressure on the accelerator pedal (hydrostatic
braking effect of drive) and by pressing down the brake/inching pedal (additional activation
of parking brake in front axle wheel motors).
The brake/inching pedal is used for two functions:
• Inching – engine speed does not change, however travel speed is reduced to increase
the output of the operating hydraulics
• Brakes
Risk of accidents! Dirt and objects in the area of the brake/inching pedal
cause the pedal to get stuck and result in brake malfunctions!
☞Keep the brake/inching pedal clean and remove all objects in the area of
the pedal
Risk of accidents! The brake lights (option) at the rear of the machine do not
illuminate
• when the parking brake is applied,
• when braking hydrostatically with the drive.
☞Press the brake/inching pedal down with force in order to brake the machine
Risk of accidents due to machine rolling away under its own weight.
Therefore when stopping on slopes:
☞Press the brake/inching pedal down with force until the braking effect is felt
