07 - 6 RT60 Rough Terrain Crane
7. 8 BRAKING OPERATION
SERVICE BRAKE
Apply the service brake as follows under normal condition:
a) Depress the brake pedal half when there is about 82 – 115 ft (25 – 35 m) away from
the specified stopping location;
b) Release the brake pedal gradually (about 1/3 - 1/2 of the applied pedal stroke) when
there is 16 – 20 ft (5 – 6 m) away from the specified stopping location. As approaching
the stopping location, depress the brake pedal completely to stop the vehicle at the
specified location.
EMERGENCY BRAKE
In an emergency, depress the brake pedal quickly and completely to stop the vehicle
immediately. At this time, the crane may lurch forward, so you must be careful.
If emergency brake is applied frequently, the abrasion of tire and friction lining will
be increased, and the service life of each part will be shortened. Applying
emergency brake should only be permitted in a clear emergency. Operate with
extreme caution in rainy days or on frozen road.
POINTS FOR ATTENTION DURING BRAKING
a) Apply brake smoothly to avoid uncontrolled lurching. Use emergency braking only in
emergency situations;
b) If the service brake indicator does not light up when the brake pedal is depressed,
stop the vehicle right away. It may be caused by decreased braking performance
because of hydraulic oil leakage. Please contact Zoomlion service station in your
area;
c) The vehicle adopts dual-circuit brake system. If one line of the brake system fails, the
other could still work normally, which greatly enhance working safety. If you suspect
brakes are not working properly, contact Zoomlion service station in your area.
If the tire blows out suddenly during driving, don’t depress the brake pedal
immediately. Hold the steering wheel carefully to control the driving direction and
release the throttle pedal immediately to decelerate the vehicle until it stops in a
safe place.
