7.1.1
Operating the service brake
WARNING
Accident hazard due to malfunctioning brakes!
Malfunctioning brakes can cause serious and fatal accidents. All repair
work on the braking system must be performed by the trained personnel
of a qualified service center.
► Check the brake function once a day.
► There is a malfunction if the brake fluid level drops from check to
check.
► Do not operate the vehicle with malfunctioning brakes.
► Have the braking system regularly checked by experienced technic-
ally trained personnel on the occasion of the inspections.
WARNING
Accident hazard due to blocked or dirty pedals!
Loose objects in the cab or dirty pedals can impair the function of the
pedal and lead to accidents with serious injuries or death.
► Keep pedals clean.
► Do not place any objects in the area of the pedals.

Inching function
The inching function regulates the supply of the drive system with hy-
draulic oil. If the brake/inching pedal is not actuated, the drive system has
the full oil volume available. The more the brake/inching pedal is actu-
ated, the less the amount of oil provided to the drive system. The output
from the working hydraulics is not impaired. Owing to this rule, even with
a high engine speed you can drive very slowly, while the full engine out-
put is available to the working hydraulics.
If you continue to actuate the brake/inching pedal, the service brake will
be actuated.
Braking function
The vehicle's braking function is already achieved with inching. If you
continue to actuate the brake/inching pedal, the vehicle braking system
will be actuated hydraulically.
