6.5.2
Hydraulic brake with load adjustment valve
When hydraulic brake systems are connected to the tractor's hydraulic brake system, the trailer must be
braked via the tractor's brake system.
The brake pressure must not exceed
120 bar (12,000 kPa)
.
An emergency brake system must be fitted, e.g. farmer stop brake with connecting cable to the tractor; a
fixed connection to the tractor, or similar, must be established during driving operation.

The response characteristics of the brake can be altered by means of a throttle check valve
in the tractor brake system (if fitted).
Work on the brake system must only be performed by authorised specialist
workshops.
