Emergency brake
In event of the machine being released from the
tractor during travel, the emergency brake will
brake the machine.
(1) Pulling cable
(2) Brake valve with pressure accumulator
(3) Hand pump to relieve the brake
(A) Brake released
(B) Brake applied
DANGER
Before travel, set the brake to the application position.
For this purpose:
1. Secure the pulling cable to a fixed point on the tractor.
2. Apply the tractor brake with the tractor engine running and hy-
draulic brake connected.
→
Pressure accumulator of the emergency brake is being charged.
DANGER
Risk of accident through brake malfunction!
After withdrawing the safety splint (e.g. when activating the emergen-
cy brake), it is essential to insert the safety splint into the brake valve
from the same side. Otherwise the brake will not function.
After reinserting the safety splint, carry out a brake test for the service
brake and the emergency brake.
When the implement is uncoupled, the pressure accumulator presses
hydraulic oil:
•
into the brake and decelerates the implement, or
•
into the hose line to the tractor and impedes the coupling of the
brake line to the tractor.
In these cases, relieve pressure using the hand pump on the brake
valve.
