SERVICE BRAKE

Step down on the brake pedal to apply the brakes.  
When you step down on the brake pedal you still have 
power to the drive motors, unless your truck has the 
traction cutout option.

LOW BRAKE PRESSURE

If brake pressure is too low, the alarm will sound 
(               will show on the enhanced display). 
You will not be able to drive the truck because the 
parking brake will be automatically applied. Notify 
your supervisor.

MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKES WORK

Test the brakes on your truck at the start of each 
shift. Know the distance it takes to stop before you 
start working.

If the stopping distance is too long for you to stop 
safely, don't drive the truck. Report any problem to 
your supervisor.
