Operation
Parking brake
Use the parking brake
to secure the vehicle against rolling
away or use it as a secondary brake if the service brake is out of
operation.
Preventing the vehicle from rolling away
•
Pull the parking brake upwards up to the stop (8th detent) to apply the
parking brake.
•
The warning light
in the indicating device lights up.
•
Firm resistance should be felt after 6 to 8 notches.
•
If not, the parking brake is not in working order. Have the parking
brake checked immediately by a specialist.
Releasing the parking brake
•
Slightly raise the parking brake, press the knob
Fig. 67-A
on the
parking brake and push the parking brake downwards.
•
The parking brake is released and the warning light
goes
out.
Using the parking brake as secondary brake (only in an emer-
gency) while driving.
•
Pull the parking brake lever upwards with force
in an emergency only
.
•
When using the parking brake while driving, the warning light
flashes and the buzzer sounds on applying the brake.
Danger
Only use the parking brake instead of the service brake in an
emergency, i. e. if the service brake is out of operation. The
brake lights will not light up in this case, risk of accidents!
In normal operation, use the brake pedal or the hydrostatic
braking effect as the brake, as the brake lights at the rear of
the vehicle will only light up in this case.

Danger
•
Adopt measures against erroneous starting and unwanted
movement. There is a risk of accidents!
•
The braking power of the parking brake depends on the
rear wheel with the lowest friction factor. When the vehicle
is parked on a slope with one rear wheel placed on solid
dry ground and the other rear wheel on ice or snow, the
maximum braking power is determined by the friction factor
between the wheel and the ice. Should the vehicle roll
away, there is a risk of accidents! When parking on a slope,
use wheel chocks as well.

Note
The parking brake operates via a pull cable on a separate
brake drum on the gear shaft.
