wear and/or does not operate smoothly, free of
hesitation and binding.

Inspect the Safety Brake System

brake system is essential for safe machine

the system is damaged or defective and does not
allow the mast to sequence properly, free of
hesitation and binding.
This procedure requires specific
repair skills and a suitable
workshop. Attempting this
procedure without these skills may
result in death or serious injury or
significant component damage.
