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 (Fig. 20). 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.

Safety chain for implements without brake system
Implements without a brake system or with a single-line brake system
must be equipped with a safety chain in compliance with local country
regulations.
The safety chain must be correctly fixed to a suitable position on the
tractor before transporting.
