Brake system
Depending on the machine’s equipment, the brake system consists of:
a hydraulic service brake with parking brake for an admissible maximum speed of 6 km/h,
an automatic reverse overrun brake for machines with a gross vehicle weight rating of 8 t and an
admissible maximum speed of 25 km/h,
a dual-line service brake system (compressed-air brake system) with manually operated brake
pressure regulator and parking brake for an admissible maximum speed of 25 km/h or 40 km/h,
a hydraulic service brake system with parking brake for an admissible maximum speed of
25 km/h. The hydraulic service brake system has been designed for connection to a controlled
hydraulic service brake system of a tractor.
Observe the fact that the braking axle needs to run in during the
first service hours – the brake lining is adjusting to the brake
drum. Full braking power is only reached after this running-in
period.
Check the brake system for proper functioning before carrying
out transport journeys.
5.13.1 Hydraulic service brake
The hydraulic service brake is connected to a single-acting control device or to a double-acting control
device with open-centre position of the tractor. The operator must actuate the respective control
device on the tractor in order to slow the machine down.
The machine equipped with a hydraulic service brake is a pure yard
vehicle and not licensed for use on public roads. The maximum
admissible speed is 6 km/h.
We explicitly point out to you the risk to lose insurance coverage if
you cause an accident by exceeding the admissible maximum speed
of 6 km/h.
When connecting the hydraulic service brake to the tractor, ensure
that the full system pressure must always act on the brake
connection, even when switching on other hydraulic functions.
