Stopping the truck with the se
rvice
brake
The electric brake converts
the acceleration
energy of the truck into elec
trical energy. This
causes the truck to slow. The
truck can also
be braked with the hydraulic
brake by pressing
the brake pedal (1).
DANGER
If the service brake fails, the truck cannot brake
sufficiently. There is a risk of accident!
– Always use the brake pedal (1) for emergency
braking.
– Do not operate the truck again until the service
brake has been repaired.
DANGER
At speeds that are too high, there is a danger that
the truck could skid!
The braking distance of the truck depends on the
weather conditions and the level of contamination
on the roadway.
– Adapt your driving and braking style to suit the
weather conditions and the level of contamina-
tion on the roadway.
– Choose a driving speed such that the truck can
always be safely braked.
– Brake the truck by releasing the accelerator
pedal (2).
– If the braking
effect is inadequate, apply the
brake pedal (1
)aswell.
NOTE
When you actuate the brake pedal, the brakes
on both front wheels and on the drive axle are
hydraulically actuated. It is recommended
that before commissioning the truck, drivers
acquaint themselves with the function and
effect of the hydraulic brake while the truck is
unladen.
NOTE
The truck is electrically braked when the
accelerator pedal is released or if the opposite
drive direction is selected while driving.
