Operation 5
Driving
Service brake
DANGER
Risk of accident!
Always choose a driving speed that will provide
a sufficient stopping distance. Note that the pure
braking distance increases at the square of the
speed, and that sharp braking can cause the drive
wheels to skid and the truck to tip over.
The truck’s braking distance is influenced by the
quality of the floor surface. A wet surface increases
the braking distance. The driver must take account
of this in his driving and braking style.
Electric brake function
The electric brake converts the acceleration
energy of the truck into electrical energy. This
causes the truck to slow.
Zero braking
DANGER
Risk of accident! Trucks with zero braking (special
equipment) do not have an electrical braking func-
tion!
– Use the footbrake to slow the truck.
If your truck features zero braking (special
equipment), the electric brake function is dis-
abled.
In this case, the truck can be slowed only by
means of the mechanical brake through use of
the footbrake. Taking your foot off the acceler-
ator pedal does not slow the truck.
