Hydraulic Trailer Brakes (If Equipped)

causym CAUTION: Avoid possible injury from losing control of tractor equipped with AutoPowr transmission operating on downhill slopes. Tractor wheels may lock and skid on slippery downhill slopes. (See DOWNHILL OPERATION IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS in Operating Tractor-AutoPowr Transmission section.)

Remove cap from trailer brake coupler (A). Connect pressure hose to brake coupler, making sure hose end and coupler are clean.

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

IMPORTANT: Reduce brake wear:

  • Make sure the pressure hose is connected.

  • Select the same gear for both downhill and uphill driving.

  • Check the hydraulic trailer brake regularly for correct functioning.

Bring tractor-trailer to a complete stop, shift transmission to PARK before dismounting tractor or disconnecting lines from couplers. Seal connections with dust caps whenever hoses are disconnected.
