Only specialist workshops or recognised brake services may
carry out adjustment and repair work on the brake system.
Have the brake system checked regularly.
If there are any functional faults in the brake system, stop the
tractor immediately. Have the malfunctions rectified immediately.
Before performing any work on the braking system, park the
machine safely and secure the machine against unintentional
lowering or rolling away (wheel chocks)
Be particularly careful when carrying out any welding, torch
cutting or drilling work in the area of the brake lines.
After carrying out any adjusting and repair work on the brake
system, always carry out a brake test.
Compressed air brake system
Before coupling the machine, clean any dirt on the sealing rings
on the hose couplings of the supply and brake lines.
Only move off with the machine connected when the pressure
gauge on the tractor shows 5.0 bar.
Drain the air tank every day.
Before driving without the machine, lock the hose couplings on
the tractor.
Hang the hose couplings of the machine supply and brake lines
in the appropriate empty couplings.
When filling up or replacing the brake fluid, use the prescribed
fluid. When replacing the brake fluid, comply with the appropriate
regulations.
Do not make any changes to the specified settings on the brake
valves!
Replace the air tank if:
the air tank can be moved in the tensioning belts
the air tank is damaged
the rating plate on the air tank is rusty, loose or missing.
Hydraulic braking system for export machines
Hydraulic brake systems are not approved in Germany.
When filling up or replacing the brake fluid, use the prescribed
