Farmer stop
– parking brake
Applying the brake:
To activate the parking brake, pull the actuating lever
towards the drawbar eye.
The lever must be pulled tight to ensure that the brake is
correctly applied. In addition, mechanical and positive
engagement of the saw tooth profile on the crown must be
ensured.
Releasing the brake:

This releases the locking mechanism and disengages the
brake.

To prevent accidental disengagement of the brake,
the locking mechanism features a safeguard,
which is activated/deactivated through folding.
