Tow tractor braking
DANGER
Risk of accident
– Always use the foot brake (1) for emergency brak-
ing.
DANGER
If you are driving too fast, there is a risk that the
truck skids.
The truck's braking distance depends on weather
and road conditions.
– Adapt driving and braking style to suit the weather
and road conditions.
– Always choose driving speeds that provide suffi-
cient stopping distances.
– Brake the truck by releasing the accelerator
pedal (2).
– If the braking effect is inadequate, apply the
foot brake (1) as well.
NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal hydraulically oper-
ates brakes on both the front wheels and drive
axle. Before taking the tractor into service, it is
recommended that drivers familiarise them-
selves with the operation and effect of the hy-
draulic brake on an unladen tow tractor.
