DANGER
When a warning icon is displayed on the R-Touch pointing at problems with
the braking system, then there is the severest hazard to life for the driver and
bystanders as well as other road users.
– Operation of the machine must then be immediately terminated.
– The machine must be parked in such a manner that nobody is endangered or dam-
aged.
– Additionally, the machine must be secured against rolling using wheel chocks and
by engaging the parking brake.
– It may only be moved again, after the cause for the brake fault has been repaired
by specialist personnel and the machine has been released for operation by corre-
sponding specialist personnel.
6.10.2 Engine brake
The diesel engine is fitted with a wear-free constant throttle brake. This engine brake
can develop high braking force in connection with the hydrostatic traction drive without
any interference of the mechanical brake. This brake is activated automatically when
releasing the gas pedal and it increases the braking effect of the hydrostatic drive. The
operating brake is required only in exceptional cases.
Red LED (1) lights on the R-Touch when the engine brake is active.
