Braking system
6.11.3 Parking brake
The parking brake is operated via the toggle switch (32) in the console (See Page 91).
The parking brake affects front wheels. Even when the ignition is switched off and the
pneumatic system is pressureless, the parking brake is automatically engaged and
active. For safety reasons, the parking brake can only be released when sufficient
pressure is present in the pneumatic system.
When the parking brake is engaged, the icon appears on the R-Touch.
As long as the parking brake is engaged, pressure on the drive pedal is without effect.
In an emergency, the spring-loaded actuator of the brakes may be manually mechan-
ically released. For instructions see Chapter 8 "Malfunction and Remedies". (See
Page 494)
If the parking brake is not released sufficiently (e.g. too low release pressure), then the
following warning icon is displayed on the R-Touch .
6.11.4 Automatic parking brake (only in the operating mode "Rabbit")
When the machine has been at a standstill for several seconds (drive pedal released),
the parking brake is engaged automatically. If the automatic parking brake is active,
the following symbol appears on the R-Touch main terminal:
= Automatic parking brake active.
For safety reasons, it prevents the machine from rolling away unintentionally on
inclined terrain. When the drive pedal is pressed again, the automatic parking brake is
released.
