7 OPERATION
PARKING BRAKE RELEASE
Perform the following only when the machine will not operate under its own power and it is necessary to move
the machine or when winching onto a transport vehicle (see «Transporting the Machine»).
W A R N I N G ! !
NEVER winch or move the machine faster than 0,3 m/sec. (1 ft./sec).
NEVER operate the machine with the parking brakes released. Serious injury or damage could result.
DO NOT release the parking brakes if the machine is on a slope.
The parking brakes are integral to the drive motors. Each drive motor has two brake release screws. Release
and engage the parking brakes one wheel at a time. Turn the brake release screws in stages (½ turn at a
time) to prevent possible binding of the brake mechanism.
RELEASE THE PARKING
BRAKE
The front wheel motors each have two
brake release nuts.
IMPORTANT: Turn the nuts alternately
in ½ turn increments to insure uniform
adjustment and prevent binding.
1. Chock the rear wheels to prevent the
machine from rolling.
2. Using a 5mm Allen Key, remove the
two G1/8 plugs from the motor body
turning counter-clockwise.
3. Using a 5mm Allen Key turn the
inner G1/8 plug as far as possible in a
clockwise direction.
4. The brake is released.
C A U T I O N ! !
To avoid confusion, the outer plugs should not be replaced before the braking function is re-instated.
