Brake cylinder
End of the season
For functional safety of the valves, anti-freeze
agent should be mixed to the compressed air
(follow the operating instructions of the tractor
manufacturer).
This agent maintains the elasticity of the seals
and reduces rust deposits in lines and reservoirs.
As a preventive measure against damage
caused by moisture, the pneumatic brake hose
couplings can be covered with plastic lids or a
plastic bag.
Emergency releasing facility
In events of emergency the spring brake cylin-
ders can also be released manually.
For this reason remove the screw from the
housing and turn it into the back of the spring
accumulator.
The corresponding bore is under the cover.
