Never allow anyone to walk or work under the Shovel or

BRAKING THE SUPERSTRUCTURE
Braking of the superstructure from a slewing movement is carried
out first by returning the control lever (1) or (2), illustration Z21761

brake. This brake is switched ON and OFF with toggle switch (4).

brake with superstructure still slewing may result in severe
damage to the brake.
