Testing the Breakaway System—Hydraulic Surge Brakes
Requirements
■
Hydraulic reservoir filled
■
Machine parked on a flat surface
When
Test the breakaway system:
■
Before towing
■
After filling the hydraulic reservoir
Procedure
Perform the procedure below to test the breakaway system.
1. Position the machine/trailer on a flat surface.
2. Connect the breakaway cable
(a)
to the tow vehicle. Do not connect the
machine/trailer to the tow vehicle via the hitch.
3. Slowly move the tow vehicle so that it pulls on the breakaway cord until the
emergency lever reaches its second notch
(b)
and locks into the ON position.
4. Connect the machine/trailer to the tow vehicle via the hitch.
5. Attempt to tow the machine/trailer at a very slow speed (less than 5 mph). When
activated, a properly working breakaway system will cause substantial drag on
the trailer wheels and may even cause the trailer wheels to lock.
6. If the brakes did not function, repair any faults before towing.
This procedure continues on the next page.
