LX234544
LX234544-UN-16FEB15


Pull dust cover off coupler (A). Connect the pressure hose. Make sure the connections are absolutely 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:

  • Make sure that the pressure hose is connected.
  • When driving downhill, select same gear you would for driving uphill.
  • Make sure that the hydraulic trailer brake has been checked and is operating properly.
  • Before uncoupling and when parking the tractor, always engage the park lock to make the trailer brake system pressure-free.

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.
