What is the correct sequence of braking steps?
1 Answers
Whether it's an emergency stop, gradual stop, or deceleration, you must first press the brake pedal before depressing the clutch. 1. Braking: Also known as deceleration, it refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. The braking device is a mechanical deceleration device that can slow down the vehicle speed, also known as a retarder. 2. Reason for depressing the clutch: To prevent the vehicle from stalling due to excessively slow engine speed. Depressing the clutch first would make the vehicle speed up faster because the engine itself has a braking effect. When the brakes fail, engine braking can be used to decelerate.
