Brake
Always move the thumb lever gently and slowly. Jerky inputs on the thumb lever ensure a weakened
jerky reaction of the machine. The recuperation (braking effect) of the machine is designed to be able
to apply full braking in an emergency with a full load. Always brake carefully and test the brakes on a
flat stretch of road before using the vehicle with a load, in order to get a feel for how hard the machine
brakes when operated appropriately. See also “Operating on slopes”.
DANGER! Never transport unsecured cargo! Transporting unsecured cargo can lead
to serious injuries and property damage!
Parking brake (Fig.: 9)
Normal operation
The Multi-Dumper MCE400 is equipped with an electromagnetic parking brake (parking brake) which is
integrated in the motor.
This brake is automatically released as soon as the thumb lever is operated.
When the thumb lever is in the rest position again, the brake is automatically applied.
This makes it impossible for the MCE400 to roll away.
Manual pushing / failure of the drivetrain
In order to be able to move the MCE400 if the drivetrain fails, it is possible to unlock the electromagnetic
brake.
For this purpose, you can find a release lever on the left side of the motor.
A lever positioned in the direction of travel means the brake is unlocked, a lever pointing to the handlebar
means the brake is locked.
While driving, braking takes place via the recuperation (generator brake) of the engine. If the MCE400
is too fast, you only need to turn the thumb lever back a little (see "Brake").
When the thumb lever is released, it automatically returns to the basic position, the MCE400 brakes and
stops, the electromagnetic stand brake engages.
In the event of danger, the MCE400 comes to an immediate standstill by releasing the thumb lever.
Turn off the machine
The MCE400 is switched off by turning the key switch in the off position.
The magnetic brake prevents the MCE400 from moving when it is switched off.
The drive control is switched off with the key switch.
The batteries must always be disconnected before any work on electrical components.
Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock and / or short circuit!
