Applying the parking brake

Note:

Precondition: Minimum operating pressure of 5.5 bar.

Danger.

Risk of accident. If the “Brake system malfunction” indicator lamp lights up while there is sufficient operating pressure available, there must be a defect in the parking brake circuit. Have the brake system checked at an EvoBus Service Partner.

Pull the parking brake lever back (A) and engage it.

The parking brake is applied (air venting noise can be heard).

Danger.

Do not apply the parking brake unless the bus is stationary. Always apply the parking brake before you leave the driver's area. On steep uphill and downhill gradients, you should also chock the wheels and turn the steering towards the kerb.

Danger.

Check the hand lever for full engagement. To do so, attempt to press the hand lever in the “release” direction (B) without pulling release ring (2) out of the detent position. The lever must not move.
