BRAKING
5-21
IF THE SERVICE BRAKE BREAKS DOWN
If the machine is not stopped after pressing down the brake ped-
al, you must use the parking brake.
BRAKING ON SLOPES
• The service brake may overheat and be damaged while
driving downhill!
Let the engine run while driving downhill. If required,
brake in addition using the brake pedal.
• Danger of accidents due to unintentional braking!
Do not use the brake pedal as a foot rest.
If you use the service brake too often while driving downhill, it
may overheat and be damaged. You can avoid this by driving
downhill in the lower speed range and by using the braking effect
of the engine. (In the lower speed range the driving range switch
will be switched off and the control lamp will go out.)
