Brakes
There are three braking systems on the Mini Crosser M:
• Motor
brake
• Magnetic
brake
• Handbrake
•
Motor brake: adjusts vehicle speed also when going downhill.
•
Magnetic brake: automatic and comes on when accelerator is
released. It also acts as a parking brake when the Mini Crosser is
at a standstill.
In an emergency, the Mini Crosser can be stopped
instantaneously by turning the key switch. Please note that this
will cause very sharp braking. The rear wheels will lock!
Must not be used in the normal course of driving!
•
Electric safety brake - if the brake is somehow disengaged on
a slope/hill, the Mini Crosser will brake automatically when it
reaches a certain speed. There is an electric safety feature in the
control system, which works even if the battery is disconnected.
This is also the reason why the Mini Crosser cannot be towed at
more than 5 km/h. See the section about towing.
•
Handbrake: intended as an emergency brake and parking
brake. It must be operated with caution when driving in slippery
conditions and downhill.
Disengagement
•
Turn the key to (0) position.
•
Push the disengagement lever at the back down.
The motor brake is now disengaged and the vehicle can be
pushed or towed, but not driven.
NOTE!
The motor brake must never be disengaged on sloping
terrain.
