Division 1 Definitions

For the purposes of this Annex:

1. 1.1.

   ‘hydrostatic braking system’ means a braking system (either as a service and/or secondary braking system) that only uses the braking power of the hydrostatic drive;

2. 1.2.

   ‘combination hydrostatic braking system’ means a braking system utilising both, the hydrostatic and friction braking effect, where, however, the braking forces are generated by a predominant braking proportion generated by the hydrostatic drive. The minimum prescribed proportion of the friction brake on the braking effect is specified in point 6.3.1.1;

3. 1.3.

   ‘combination friction braking system’ means a braking system utilising both, the friction and hydrostatic braking effect, where, however, the braking forces are generated by a predominant braking proportion generated by the friction brakes. The minimum prescribed proportion of the friction brake on the braking effect is specified in point 6.3.1.2;

4. 1.4.

   ‘friction braking system’ means a braking system where the braking forces are generated only by the friction brakes without taking into account of the braking effect of the hydrostatic braking system;

5. 1.5.

   ‘graduated hydrostatic braking’ means the hydrostatic braking through which the driver is able to increase or decrease the vehicle speed at any time by a progressive action on its control device.

6. 1.6.

   ‘hydrostatic drive control device’ which means a device, such as a lever or pedal, used to vary the vehicle speed.

7. 1.7.

   ‘service brake control device’ means the control device by whose operation the prescribed service braking performance is attained;

8. 1.8.

   ‘inch device’ means the device that affects the speed of the vehicle independently of the hydrostatic drive control.
