Service And Parking Brakes - Case WX145 Operator's Manual

SERVICE BRAKE
The service brake is composed of four multi-plates
brakes integrated in the wheel hubs. The brake is
operated hydraulically.
To ensure the braking function at all times, the brak-
ing system is equipped with hydraulic pressure
accumulators which are permanently monitored.
If the pressure lowers under a preset minimum
value, the red lamp (1) will light up on the display
and the buzzer will release an intermittent warning
sound.
Concurrently the display will show an error code and
the symbol "Brake pressure too low". You are also
required to switch off the engine immediately.

WARNING
If, during an operation lamp (1) lights up:
- stop the machine immediately;
- apply the parking brake;
- place the machine in a safe condition.
Reset the machine in motion only after clearing the
problem.
SERVICE BRAKE ACTIVATION
To brake the machine, press the pedal (2).
Concurrently also the floating axle is blocked (inde-
pendently from the position of the floating axle
blocking button).
The machine cannot be started as the service brake
is applied.
By activating the travel pedal with the travel direc-
tion selected but with the service brake blocked, the
display warns only once for some seconds that the
service brake must be released.
If not only the service brake but also the parking
brake is applied, and the travel direction has been
selected, and you press the travel pedal, the display
warns that the parking brake has to be released.
The brake is released by releasing the pedal (2). If
the floating axle had not been blocked beforehand
by means of button (3), it is unlocked at the same
time.
