Braking system
7.14 Braking system
The front axle has a drum brake actuated by compressed air. The rear axle has a
hydraulically-actuated drum brake. Two independent brake circuits guarantee maxi-
mum safety, even if one brake circuit fails.
After washing the machine run the brakes dry. If the machine is moved with frozen
brakes (ice formation due to water penetration), the brake system may be seriously
damaged.
Check brake function before every trip.
DANGER
If mistakes are made during maintenance, repairs or adjustment work, the dri-
ver and other persons in traffic will be at risk of death.
Adjustments and repair work on the brakes may only be performed by trained
specialist personnel who are familiar with the maintenance and repair of com-
pressed-air brakes.
