6.10 Braking system
The braking system of the machine is a pneumatically actuated dry drum brake. For
safety reasons, the braking system consists of two independent brake circuits:
The operating brake activated by the brake pedal on the driver's cabin floor.
The parking brake, which is activated by the toggle switch.
The parking brake only holds the front axle. The operating brake on the rear axle is
pneumatically controlled but hydraulically actuated.
DANGER
Hazard to life in case of faulty brakes.
– Before each drive, check functioning of the brakes!
– The braking systems must regularly be thoroughly checked!
– Setting and repair work on the brakes may only be performed by trained specialist
personnel.
6.10.1 Operating brake
The operating brake is activated by the left pedal on the driver's cabin floor. It only
operates if there is sufficient pressure in the compressed air system. If the operating
brake is not sufficiently functional (e.g. too low reservoir pressure), then the following
warning icon is displayed on the R-Touch .
