Controls and Operating

MACHINE CONTROLS
Braking
The dual circuit brake system is applied during normal operation by using
the service brake pedal or, in an emergency, by using the park emergency
brake control.
The 'Front Brake System' warning light and the 'Rear Brake System'
warning light are located on the instrument panel. A buzzer will also
sound if the brake pressure is low. If any of these lights illuminate and/or
the buzzer sounds, stop the machine and do not operate until the fault is
corrected.
NOTICE: The park brake is applied automatically when the truck is
stopped. For normal braking, the service brake pedal should be
employed.
Service Brake
This is a cab wall mounted pedal operated by the right foot. Depress the
pedal as required by speed, load and road conditions, to slow or stop the
machine. Release the pedal as the machine slows until, when stopped,
the pedal is depressed just enough to hold it stationary. Do not 'FAN' the
pedal.
NOTICE: Pedal movement will be experienced when applying or releas-
ing the park/emergency brake control when the engine is running.
Park Brake
Pushing the control in will apply the spring operated driveline mounted
parking brake and the service brakes at all wheels. The parking brake
warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate when the control is
pushed in. Turn the control clockwise and put the gear in transmission to
drive.
NOTICE: This Machine is installed with a safety feature which prevents
‘uncontrolled movement’. Initial powering of the vehicle by means of the
master switch will not activate the park brake hydraulic controls in the cab
until the operator applies the service brake pedal. The park brake system
will then operate relative to the position of the park brake switch.
