6.5 Parking brake
If the trailer is not equipped with a parking brake, the wheel chocks must be
used to prevent the trailer from rolling away.
6.5.1
Hand brake lever
– overrun brake
Applying the brake:
To activate the hand brake, pull the actuating
lever towards the drawbar eye. The brake locks
automatically.
Releasing the brake:
Press in the button at the tip of the actuating
lever to unlock the brake. Move the lever towards
the side panel while keeping the button
depressed.
If the actuating lever is equipped with an
extension, unfold this extension.
The extension triggers the button and releases
the brake (see detail image).

A pull cable on the lever eyelet also allows the braking function to be used from the
operator's position. This also serves as an emergency braking mechanism when
connected to the tractor.
6.5.2
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:
Briefly pull the actuating lever towards the side panel. This
releases the locking mechanism and disengages the
brake.
Safeguard:
To prevent accidental disengagement of the brake, the
locking mechanism features a safeguard,
which is activated/deactivated through folding.
