Hydraulic Trailer Brakes

LX1045857-UN-07FEB11

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

The trailer brake is operated via the brake pedals. 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 emergency brake system of the tractor 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.
