Dual-circuit service brake system
Compliance with the maintenance intervals is essential for the correct
function of the dual-circuit service brake system.
WARNING
If the machine is parked uncoupled from the tractor with a full
compressed air tank, the compressed air of the compressed air
tank acts on the brakes and the wheels are then blocked.
The compressed air in the compressed air tank and hence the
braking force will drop continuously until there is a complete
brake failure, if the compressed air tank is not refilled. The ma-
chine must therefore be parked only with wheel chocks.
The brakes are released immediately with a full compressed air
tank when the supply line (red) is connected to the tractor. Be-
fore connection of the supply line (red) the machine must there-
fore be connected to the tractor's lower links and the tractor's
handbrake must be applied. The wheel chocks must also not be
removed until the machine is connected to the tractor's lower
links and the tractor's handbrake is applied.
To activate the dual-circuit pneumatic braking system, the tractor
requires a pneumatic braking system which is also dual circuit.
