BRAKE PEDAL
WARNING
• Always use the engine brake when traveling downhill, and use the R.H brake pedal as well.
• Do not depress the brake pedal repeatedly more than necessary.
Excessive use of the brake may cause the heat-up of the brake degrading its function, and may re-
sult in serious personal injury or death.
• Do not put your foot on the brake pedal when braking is not necessary.
NOTICE
Frequent braking increases the temperature of axle oil. As a result, the alarm buzzer may sound and the
caution lamp may light up for protection of the brake discs.
Observe the following ways of operation to prevent the increase of the axle oil temperature.
• Try to avoid high speeding and sudden braking.
Before depressing the brake pedal, shift the gear down manually with the gear speed switch.
• Try to apply the brake on and off. Try not to apply the brake continuously.
• Try gradual acceleration and braking rather than sudden acceleration and braking.
• When traveling downhill, use a low gear speed so that the engine braking works well.
• During loading work on a level ground, use of the cut-off brake is recommended since it cuts off the
power train.
The R.H. and L.H brake pedals are used to apply the wheel
brakes.
