Brakes
11 Service brake pedal
Gradually step on the brake pedal to decelerate and
stop the machine. The pedal operates on the front axle.
Fully depressing the brake pedal causes a reset of the
displacement of the power drive pump making the
brake action more powerful.
28 Parking brake
To engage the parking brake, pull the lever upward
while holding the locking button pressed down.
Release the button when reaching the required braking
tension. This brake operates on the power distributor
of the front axle and, when engaged, it cuts off both
forward and reverse gear.
CAUTION
Never use the parking brake to slow down the
machine, unless in an emergency. It may reduce
the brake efficiency.
