Re: RXV slow to engage parking brake
No it doesn't roll with the key off, or after the parking brake engages. The issue is that it takes a while, relatively speaking, for the parking brake to engage and bring the cart to a complete stop, even with the pedal depressed most of the way.
Also, something else I noticed yesterday when playing around with it: if you push the brake pedal down far enough, it'll click and engage the parking brake no matter what your speed is, then when you let off, it immediately disengages the parking brake with another click. Is that normal? It's like an "oh **** stop!" feature in the brake but I find it to be intrusive. Can the brake be adjusted in any way on the motor? Could it still mostly function and be loose? |

Re: RXV slow to engage parking brake
Here's an example, If I'm driving down a hill and want to come to a complete stop, I depress the brake pedal and the cart slows down, but not to a complete stop. It slows down to a crawl even as I'm pushing the pedal down more and more. I lift off the brake pedal, and after crawling for about 3 or 4 seconds, the parking brake automatically clicks and engages, and then the cart comes to a complete stop. It's like the brake pedal doesn't have complete control over the brake and I can never bring the cart to a complete stop until I let the parking brake automatically engage after a few moments.

Re: RXV slow to engage parking brake
Looks like you have a danaher controller, it could be as simple as a software update (there were several). V6.0 is the current version. Since there is no real adjustment settings that even a dealer can do to brake timing, i would suggest having the dealer update your software. I would also suggest having the park brake inspected. Without the programmer that you cant get, theres not much you can do. Did you read the thread "error codes - danaher carts" ?(its currently buried about 28 pages back on this forum).

Re: RXV slow to engage parking brake
Here is the brake. Looks fine but smells a bit burnt (like brake pads tend to smell) and there is something loose inside of it. I don't know if that's normal or not.

Re: RXV slow to engage parking brake
That brake looks generally ok. They do smell some, even when still working. You can open the brake further for cleaning & inspection, but, i dont think it will be needed on this (pretty clean looking) example.
