Emergency braking in the event of failure of both brake circuits
Emergency braking in the event of failure of both brake circuits
Danger.
A failure in brake circuits 1 and 2 will jeopardise the operating safety and roadworthiness of the bus. Stop the vehicle immediately (traffic conditions permitting). Have the brake system checked by an EvoBus Service Partner immediately.
Note:
In the event of a failure in brake circuits 1 and 2, it is possible to initiate emergency braking using the parking brake lever. Driver's area controls

Pull release ring (2). Slowly pull the hand lever towards the Applied position (A) and hold it in the desired position, otherwise it will automatically return to the Released position (B).
Danger.
When performing emergency braking using the parking brake, make sure that the parking brake lever does not engage in the parking position. Release ring (2) must be held in the applied position. The bus is braked at the rear wheels only.
Note:
It is possible to pull the parking brake lever back to any position before the limit position. This enables you to prevent the rear wheels from locking and to control the amount of braking force applied.
Danger.
Risk of accident. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is not operational when the parking brake is applied. You should pay particular attention when driving on slippery roads, since the rear wheels could lock.
