Parking Brake Pedal

Foot pedal actuating the parking brake that locks the chassis wheel. Works together with the brake lever and brake pad.

Application

The pedal presses the brake lever, pushing the brake pad against the wheel and locking its rotation. It prevents the wheeled unit from rolling uncontrolled while parked, especially on uneven or sloped ground.

Symptoms – when to replace

• The pedal doesn't lock the wheel even when fully pressed, with a sound pad and brake lever.
• The pedal is cracked, broken off, or loose in its frame mounting.
• Noticeable excessive play in the pedal's movement, not present on a new unit.
• The pedal doesn't return to its resting position on its own after release.

How to choose the right part

Selection is based on reference number 44022 – the same pedal is used across many different Kränzle series, so the catalog number is a more reliable reference than visual comparison.

When replacing the pedal, also assess the condition of the brake lever (44.023) and the brake pad (44.024) – ineffective braking despite a new pedal often results from wear on these neighboring components.

I replaced the pedal but the wheel still turns despite the brake being pressed – what else should I check?|Check the condition of the brake pad (44.024) for wear and the adjustment of the brake lever (44.023) – a sound pedal alone won't lock the wheel if the pad is worn or the lever is incorrectly set.
