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, when uncoupled from the tractor, has full com-
pressed air tanks, the compressed air from the air tanks acts on
the brakes and the wheels jam.
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. This is
why the machine may only be parked using wheel chocks.
The brakes are released immediately with a full compressed air
tank when the supply line (red) is connected to the tractor. For
this reason, the machine must be connected to the lower links of
the tractor and the tractor's hand brake must be applied before
the supply line (red) is connected.
The wheel chocks may not be removed until the machine is con-
nected to the lower links of the tractor and the hand brake is
applied.
To activate the dual-circuit compressed-air brake system, the tractor
requires a compressed-air brake system which is also dual circuit.

press in until it stops and the service
brake system releases, e.g. for shunt-
ing the uncoupled trailed sprayer.
ο
pull it out as far as it will go, and the
trailed sprayer is braked again by the
supply pressure coming from the air
reservoir..
