Using Hydraulic Trailer Brakes (If Equipped)

CAUTION: Avoid possible injury from losing control of tractor when operating on downhill slopes. Tractor wheels may lock and skid on steep or slippery downhill slopes.

IMPORTANT: Operating tractor with three scrapers requires tractor and all scraper pans be equipped with hydraulic trailer brakes. Reference ”Towing Loads and Transporting with Ballast” Section of Operator's Manual.

A - Trailer Brake Coupler

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: Recommendations to 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 proper operation.
