Operation
Operating devices
As a general rule, the service brake or the
reverse brake should be used for normal
tasks. This approach protects the brake
linings. The foot switch must be used for
emergency braking and as a parking brake.
Reverse brake
Directly shifting from one drive direction to the
other (2) activates the reverse brake. This
initiates electronically controlled braking and
then acceleration in the opposite direction. In
this case, brake linings are not used. This form
of braking can be metered precisely through
the deflection the drive lever.
If the lever is released at the same time as the
drive direction is reversed, the truck remains
stationary
Emergency off switch
Pressing the emergency off switch (3) ac-
tivates mechanical braking and brakes the
truck to a standstill in the shortest distance
possible.
Steering system
The steering system works electrically. The
driver rotates the steering knob or steering
wheel* to determine the desired steering
angle.
