Parking
Always apply handbrake when parking. Move control back
to locked position to apply.
Driving
The handbrake may only be used in emergencies
while the bus is moving!
The handbrake affects only the drive wheels and
therefore has only limited braking capacity and can
cause skidding.
Warning!
Emergency brake
The handbrake can be used as an emergency brake if the
footbrake system should malfunction.
When using as emergency brake: gradually move the con-
trol back to parking position.
Hold in the lock all the time! Otherwise, the control will
stick in locked position.
As the handbrake only affects the drive wheels, the braking
distance will be longer than when using the normal braking
system. Braking the drive axle only means there is increased
risk of skidding. Therefore, use the handbrake only in emer-
gencies while the bus is moving!
