Maintenance and Care
7.8 Brake system
The front axle is braked by a pneumatically operated drum brake. Two independent
brake circuits guarantee maximum safety, even if one brake circuit should fail.
After washing the machine, "drive the brake dry". If you attempt to move the machine
with brakes frozen tight (ice formation by ingress of water), this may lead to severe
damage to the brake system!
Check functioning of the brakes each time before driving!
Setting and repair work on the brakes may only be performed by specialist
personnel familiar with maintenance and repair of compressed-air brakes owing to
their vocational training.
Danger! If errors are made during maintenance, repair or setting work, there is an
extreme risk of lethal injury for the driver and for other road users.
