Cat 2EC30s Slow traction

Can anyone confirm if this is the same as the daewoo BC30s?

I have one going slow, the footpedal was tried off another truck and still does the same, but the strange thing is sometimes if you hit the footbrake hard it starts driving fast. The brakes are not binding and there is no switch on the foot brake.

Any ideas would be helpful

Will check again Ed next time i go, could not see one, but it makes sense there is as when slamming the brake you can get it to drive fast.

Will let you know if i find it thank you for the advice.

are you -SURE- there is no brake for the foot brake? this sure sounds like the brake linkage is adjusted so that the foot brake switch is not releasing.
my memory says this unit should have a brake switch mounted under the floor pan and kind of under some of the linkage to the brake master cylinder, and that this unit's brake switch has a tendency to brake off the roller actuation lever, which if I remember this unit correctly, is an external to the switch lever that is held on with the same 2 screws that hold the switch to the linkage (although someone could have fitted a switch with the roller lever built into the switch).
