Hydraulic Trailer Brakes

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

Operating tractor with three scrapers requires tractor and all scraper pans be equipped with hydraulic trailer brakes. Reference Towed Loads and Transport with Ballast in Transport section of this Operator's Manual.

Recommendations to reduce brake wear:

  • Make sure pressure hose is connected.
  • Select same gear for both downhill and uphill driving.
  • Regularly check hydraulic trailer brake for proper operation.

Remove cap from trailer brake coupler (A). Ensure hose coupler is clean before connecting to trailer brake coupler.

Depress brake pedal to operate hydraulic trailer brake. Braking effect depends on pressure applied to brake pedal.
