The iBOT brake
The iBOT manual brake is always engaged (in the parked position as shown in
Figure 60) during normal operation. This prevents the iBOT from dropping in
the column whenever the iBOT is idle.
CAUTION: Releasing the manual brake causes the iBOT to drop
immediately. Make sure to support the iBOT whenever releasing the
CAUTION
manual brake.
The "powered" brake button on the iBOT control panel electronically
disengages the iBOT brake for as long as it is pushed and held in. Releasing
the "powered" brake button will engage the brake again, to prevent the iBOT
from falling onto the operator or another iBOT. This button will only release the
brake, however, when the iBOT has sufficient power. In the event that the iBOT
requires assistance but does not have sufficient power for the brake button to
work, you can release the iBOT brake by pushing the manual brake to the left.
