Using Trailer Air Brakes

CAUTION: Avoid personal injury. DO NOT over use brakes on steep down-hill grades. Shift tractor into lower gear. (See implement manual and Transport Section).

Lift cover from trailer brake coupler and connect trailer hose coupling.

NOTE: A single-line braking system uses coupler (A). Dual-line braking system uses couplers (B) and (C).

Start engine and allow system air pressure to reach working range. Air pressure indicator (D) will come on should system pressure be low.

Press both brake pedals to stop tractor-trailer while disengaging the clutch.

Use individual brakes to assist in making sharp turns.
