Steering; Braking - Jungheinrich EFG-DH ac 10 Betriebsanleitung

Decelerating the truck
f
The braking effect of the truck is mainly dependent on the road surface. This must be
taken into account by the driver for his driving behaviour. Decelerate the truck care-
fully so that the load does not slip.
When driving with trailed loads the resulting longer braking path must be kept in mind.
–– Take your foot from the accelerator pedal (9) (15/17) and press down lightly the
brake pedal (16/8), if required.

Steering

m
The power to be applied for steering is very low due to the hydrostatic steering sys-
tem. Therefore the steering wheel must be turned very carefully.
Driving a right turn
–– Turn the steering wheel clockwise according to the desired radius of the turn.
Driving a left turn
–– Turn the steering wheel counter-clockwise according to the desired radius of the
turn.

Braking

There are four possibilities available to
decelerate the truck:
–– Service brake
–– Coasting brake
–– Reverse brake
–– Parking brake
Service brake:
–– Press brake pedal (16/8) down until
you feel brake pressure.
A
The service brake is used to brake the
front wheels with the drum brakes.
Coasting brake:
–– Release foot from accelerator pedal
(9) (15/17). The truck is slowed down
generatorically by means of the drive
current control system.
A
This operating mode decreases the en-
ergy consumption.
