Air Brakes on Trailer

The air brakes are a combined single- and dual-line system. Trailers with single-line brakes may be connected at connection (A). Trailers with dual-line brakes may be connected at connections (B) and (C).

Ensure that the connections are clean before joining the compressed air hoses. Seal the connections with the dust caps whenever the hoses are disconnected.

CAUTION: The single-line trailer brake may be used at speeds up to 25 km/h only.

When travelling with the tractor, keep within the legal speed limit.

IMPORTANT: With a trailer connected, do not drive away unless the air pressure gauge is indicating at least 500 kPa (5 bar; 73 psi).

To prevent undue wear on the brakes, observe the following points:

Make sure that the pressure hoses are connected.

When driving downhill, select the same gear you would for driving uphill.

Check the air brake on the trailer regularly to make sure that it is functioning correctly.

A-Black (single-line brake)
B-Yellow (dual-line brake)
C-Red (dual-line brake, supply)
