Operating the service brake
The electric brake converts t
he acceleration
energy of the truck into elect
rical energy. This
causes the truck to decelerat
e.
In addition, the truck can be braked using the
service brake:
– Press the brake pedal (2).
In the first section of the b
rake pedal's travel,
only the regenerative bra
king takes effect. As
the pedal is depressed fur
ther, the service
brake is also activated an
d acts on the drive
wheels.
DANGER
Risk of accident!
If the service brake fails, the truck cannot brake
sufficiently.
– Bring the truck to a standstill by applying the
parking brake.
– Do not operate the truck again until the service
brake has been repaired.
DANGER
Risk of tipping and risk of slipping!
The braking distance of the truck depends on the
weather conditions and the level of contamination
on the roadway. The braking distance increases
with the square of the speed. There is a danger that
the truck could slip or overturn.
– Adapt your driving and braking style to suit the
weather conditions and the level of contamina-
tion on the roadway.
– Always choose a driving speed that will provide
a sufficient stopping distance.
– Brake the truck by releasing the accelerator
pedal (1).
– If the braking effect is inadequate, brake
using the service brake (2) as well.
