Hydraulic Trailer Brakes

LX1049785-UN-30JUL10

Pull dust cover off coupler (A). When connecting the hose, ensure that the connectors are perfectly clean.

Press down on brake pedals to operate hydraulic trailer brake. The braking effect depends on pressure applied to the brake pedals.

CAUTION: Never exceed a speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) when travelling with hydraulically braked trailers.

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

Make sure the pressure hose is connected.

Select the same gear for both downhill and uphill driving.

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

NOTE: The tractor park brake has no effect on the hydraulic trailer brake. Operate the trailer in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This is particularly important when operating the park brake of the trailer.
