Hydraulic Trailer Brakes (If Equipped)

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 that 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 and pull up brake valve knob to set trailer air brakes before dismounting tractor or disconnecting lines from couplers. Seal connections with dust caps whenever hoses are disconnected.
