Trailer Brake Test (If Equipped)

Tractors equipped with dual-line hydraulic trailers brakes have a Trailer Brake Test. Use test to confirm tractor's park brake will hold both tractor and trailer if the trailer brakes are released when parked.  The Trailer Brake Test overrides the default park state of the braking system and forces brakes to release.

  • Attaching different trailer.

Procedure to modify:

  1. Place tractor in PARK.
  2. Press trailer brake test controls button (C) to access trailer brake test.

    RXA0152443-UN-24JUN16

    Press and hold release trailer brakes button (I) to bleed brakes.

  4. Press done button (J) when finished.
