Operation
3.23 Brake/inching pedal
Specific information on brake/inching pedal actuation
• The brake/inching pedal is located on the left in the machine.
• Dirt accumulation and objects in the area of the brake/inching pedal can result in brake
malfunctions.
• Keep the brake/inching pedal clean and remove all objects in the area of the pedal
The brake lights at the rear of the machine neither come on when applying the
parking brake, nor during inching.
☞ Press the brake/inching pedal down with force in order to brake the
machine
Braking with the brake/inching pedal
☞ Before braking, check in the rearview mirror that no-one will be hindered
☞ Release the accelerator pedal fully and press the brake/inching pedal down with force
beyond the inching range
➥ The machine is braked to a standstill regardless of the position of the forwards-
reverse control on the joystick
Caution when stopping on slopes:
☞ Press brake/inching pedal Fig. 30/24 down with force until the braking effect is felt
When driving downhill, use the brake pedal to support the braking effect of the
drive. This avoids damage (excessive speed) to the drive and/or the diesel
engine!
During trailer operation (option), also select the “Turtle” speed range before
driving downhill!
☞ Reduce engine speed
☞ Reduce the speed to less than 11 kph with the service brake
☞ Select the “Turtle” speed range
• The brakes are supported by the hydraulic braking effect of the drive
Inching with the brake/inching pedal
☞ Press brake/inching pedal Fig. 30/24 down slightly (inching range)
➥ In the inching range (pedal pressed lightly), the pedal can be used like a car's clutch
➥ The drive's output is reduced, making the engine power available to the work
hydraulics
➥ This makes it possible to raise the loader unit more quickly
