Brakes
General information
Brake lining wear depends very much on:
•
Conditions of use, e.g. short or long distance travel
•
Flat land, mountains
•
Driving style
Therefore it may be necessary to have the brake linings also checked bet-
ween the specified maintenance intervals by your authorised Hako work-
shop.
The brake effect may be negatively affected by:
•
Dampness and/or coldness
Apply the brakes until they are dry
•
De-icing salt
The salt layer on brake discs and brake linings must first be worn off
during braking
•
Overheating
Do not "ride" the brakes by pressing the pedal lightly
When driving on slopes, reduce speed in time
Utilise brake effect of diesel engine
During long downhill stretches additionally brake in intervals
Drive carefully and observe traffic conditions
Danger!
In specific operating states as for example after riding through
water pools, riding in heavy rainfall, after cleaning the vehicle or
when riding on salt-spread roads the braking effect may change!
Accident hazard!
Grinding of the brakes is required during slow ride by thoroug-
hly actuating the brake pedal!
Power brakes
The power brakes work with negative pressure which is generated only
while the engine is running.
Danger!
The power brakes do not work when the engine is at a standstill.
The brake pedal has to be pressed much harder!
Take this into account, especially when towing the vehicle!
Accident hazard!
Use a towing bar whenever possible!
A malfunction in the brake system (brake fluid level) is indicated by
warning light
