Operation
Accelerator pedal
Accelerator pedal A sets the engine revs. During drive operation, the dumper is
accelerated as revs are increased. During skip operation, the skip dumps in or out more
rapidly as revs are increased.
The forwards or reverse drive speed depends on the position of accelerator pedal A.
Hydraulic brake
Hydrostatic drive.
Hydraulic service brake B with fully enclosed wet multdisc brakes in the front axle, self-
adjusting, braking effect on all four wheels.
Use service brake B on slopes to slow down the machine as required.
Parking brake
Parking brake: mechanical disc brake with brake effect on the cardan shaft between the
selector gearbox and the transfer gearbox!
Reduced running performance, long standstill times and reduced loads cause
the brake discs to corrode and dirt to accumulate on the brake linings. Slightly
braking the machine (making sure no-one is hindered by the brake
manoeuvre) every few kilometres in conditions of strong rain or on wet
surfaces helps to dry the brake discs and linings with the heat created by
braking. Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner can cause water to penetrate
into the brakes and to damage them.
