Brake test
Important
Do not put the machine into operation if a brake test gives a negative result or
if there are doubts as to the correct brake function. Contact a Wacker Neuson
service center and have the malfunction rectified.
The following tests are performed to check the brake function on firm, level and horizontal
ground. On slopes or in the case of machines with loads, for example, the braking effect of
the parking brake may still be insufficient to safely brake the machine. If possible, always
park the machine without any load and on level ground, and secure it with suitable means
(chocks, for example).
Test the brakes once a day.
Parking brake test
Park the machine on firm, level and horizontal ground. With the parking brake applied, turn
the steering wheel several times to the left and right limits.
➥
The rear axle wheels must block when turning the steering wheel.
Service brake test
Models with brake pedal:
Start machine travel in the slow speed range and press the brake pedal.
Models without brake pedal:
Start machine travel in low gear and move the travel direction lever to neutral.
➥
Deceleration must be stronger than when only releasing the accelerator pedal.
