Attention!

reservoir falls below 3 bar, or if there is a leak in the brake system.
To release the brakes:

Compress the air reservoir.
- Release all the air in the brake system by draining the valve on the reservoir.
To haul the sprayer:
- Connect the sprayer to the towing vehicle hitch.
- Apply the brakes on the towing vehicle.
- Remove the wheel chocks and parking brake.
- Release the braking valve.
- The brake system is release and the sprayer can be hauled.
- When hauling is finished, apply the brakes using the sprayer brake valve (the compressed air
in the reservoir brakes the sprayer).
- Apply the brakes on the towing vehicle.
- Apply the hand parking brake and secure the sprayer wheels with the wheel chocks to
prevent the sprayer from rolling.
- Disconnect the sprayer from the towing vehicle.
