Operating the service brake
Braking and stopping
DANGER
At speeds that are too high, there is a danger that
the truck could slip or overturn!
The braking distance of the truck depends on the
weather conditions and the level of contamination on
the roadway. Note that the basic braking distance in-
creases with the square of the speed.
– Adapt your driving and braking style to suit the
weather conditions and the level of contamination
on the roadway.
– Always choose a driving speed that will provide a
sufficient stopping distance.
– Take the foot off the accelerator pedal (1).
– Press the brake pedal (2) until the truck is
stationary.
– Actuate the parking brake to keep the fork-
lift truck braked.
Procedure in the event of failure of the
service brake
– Bring the truck to a standstill by actuating
the parking brake and park it securely.
– Do not operate the truck again until the
service brake has been repaired and is
functional.
