3.11

The main pneumatic brake is activated from the tractor driver's cab by pressing the brake

pedal. The function of a control valve (2) – figures (3.5) and (3.6) – is to operate the trailer

brakes simultaneously with the tractor brakes. Furthermore, in case of an incidental

disconnection of the line between the trailer and a tractor, the control valve will automatically

activate the trailer's brake. The valve used is equipped with a circuit causing the brake to

release. It can be used when the trailer is disconnected from a tractor – see figure (3.7). After

the air line is connected to a tractor, the releasing device is automatically set in a way

enabling the normal brake operation.

A three step brake force regulator (2) – figure (3.7) – adjusts the braking force depending on

the setting. Switching to a suitable working mode is done manually by the operator before

driving off, by means of the lever (4). Three working positions are available: A – "no load", B

– "half loaded", C – "full load".
