The Self Steering Axles Release Valve
3.7.2. Axle Lifting
Axle lifting feature is optionally available
in different quantities and location in your
vehicle. Thanks to this feature tire wear
is minimized and a more balanced load
distribution
on
the
tractor
can
be
achieved. The EBS connection must be
active for the axle lift load to work.
Axle lifting feature is controlled automati-
cally due to the legal regulations. When
the speed limit exceeded while the EBS
is active, some axles can be lifted auto-
matically if the load on the axles is less
than the maximum allowable axle load.
It may be necessary for the operator to
manually intervene the axle lift with a de-
parture help aid or maneuvering aid.
In order for the departure aid
to be activated (raising the ax-
le) , the vehicle must be slo-
wer than 30 km/h and the
technical capacity of the axles
must not exceed 30%.
When the vehicle is stationary, it is possi-
ble to activate the traction help by press-
ing the tractor brake pedal 3 times in a
row.
If your vehicle have optional axle lifting
feature from tractor cabin, it is possible
to manually lower/ raise the axle lift with
a spring load-ed button to be installed in
the tractor cabin. Fort his feature, your
tractor must be adjusted according to the
tractor.
It is also possible to activate /deactivate
the axle lift with the help of the button on
the trail-er. Driving assistance can be ac-
tivated by pressing and holding this but-
ton for less than 5 seconds. If it is
pressed more than 5 seconds, the axle
can be lowered to the ground.
You can also find information on how to
use the axle lift control on the driving aid
sticker on your vehicle.
As a result of intervention in
the axle lift parameters, your
vehicle may be out of regula-
tion. For this reason, the EBS
modulator should not be inter-
fered with except authorized
services.
