
Have the brake system regularly and thoroughly checked!
In order to maintain the operational safety, the wheel brakes must always be properly adjusted.

Before carrying out any work in the brake system:

safely park the machine and secure it against accidental rolling (chocks),

secure the lifted machine/machine parts against accidental lowering!

Especially beware when carrying out welding and drilling work and work involving open fire in the
vicinity of brake lines!

As a basic principle, test the brakes after any adjusting and maintenance work on the brake
system!
Compressed-air brake system

The compressed-air brake systems of the tractor and of the machine must be compatible!

Clean the sealing rings at the hose couplings of the feed and brake lines from possible soiling
before hitching the machine!

You are only allowed to start the tractor with the hitched machine moving when the pressure
gauge on the tractor indicates 5.0 bar!

Drain the air reservoir every day!

Cover the tractor's hose couplings before carrying out journeys without machine!

Hang the couplings of the feed and brake line on the provided blank connections with the
machine unhitched!

Do not modify the specified settings at the brake valves!

Replace the air reservoir if:

the air reservoir can be moved in the tensioning straps,

the air reservoir is damaged,

the type plate at the air reservoir is getting rusty, is loose or is missing!
Hydraulic brake system

Hydraulic brake systems are not licensed for road traffic in Germany!

Only use the specified hydraulic oils when topping up or changing oils. Observe the relevant
regulations when changing hydraulic oils!
3.5.7 Axles
As a basic principle, never overload the axles. Overloading of axles reduces the service life of the axle
bearings and causes damage to the axles.
Therefore avoid:

overloading of the machine,

bumping into curbs,

exceeding the speed limit,

mounting wheels of wrong inserting depth,

mounting wheels and tyres of wrong dimensions.
