Operation 4
Driving
Zero braking (variant)
DANGER
Risk of accident!
Trucks with zero braking (variant) are not braked
when the accelerator pedal is released.
– Bring the truck to a standstill by actuating the
brake pedal.
If your truck features the zero braking equip-
ment variant, the electric brake function is
disabled. Taking your foot off the accelerator
pedal does not brake the truck.
In this case, the truck can only be slowed by
applying the service brake via the brake pedal.
Parking brake
Operation of the parking brake depends on
which parking brake the truck is fitted with.
Possible equipment variants are as follows:
• Mechanical parking brake; see ⇒ Chap-
ter "Actuating the mechanical parking
brake", P. 4-131
• Electric parking brake; see ⇒ Chapter "Ac-
tuating the electric parking brake", P. 4-133
Actuating the mechanical parking
brake
DANGER
There is a risk of being run over if the truck rolls
away, and therefore a danger to life.
– The truck must not be parked on a slope.
– In emergencies, secure with wedges on the side
facing downhill.
– Only leave the truck when the parking brake is
applied.
NOTE
Once the parking brake is released, the
previously selected drive direction is retained
and is shown on the drive direction indicator.
