¾ Allow the accelerator pedals (1) to move to
the neutral position.
The hydrostatic drive will act a
saservice
brake. Slow or quick release of
the acceler-
ator pedals to the neutral posi
tion allows the
braking action to be sensitive
ly controlled,
from gentle to hard braking.
NOTE
For emergency braking, press the STOP pe-
dal (2) positioned between the accelerator
pedals. This will result in full application of the
brake.
Stop pedal
NOTE
The stop pedal (2) is not a sensitive service
brake but a sharply applied parking brake. Its
use should be avoided whilst driving, because
this can cause the drive wheels to lock and,
in certain circumstances, can cause the load
to slip from the fork arms. In unfavourable si-
tuations, the engine can also stall. The driver
should then wait approx. 30 seconds before
restarting (until the variable displacement
pump of the traction drive is in neutral). It is
recommended that drivers familiarise them-
selves with the function and action of these
brakes without any load on the truck. For this
purpose they should choose a route with no
other traffic, travelling at a low speed.
Parking brake version 1
The multi-disc brakes are used as the parking
brake of the fork-lift truck.
