Emergency brake valve
Purpose.
The emergency brake valve increases trailer-towing safety. An
independent rollaway is prevented e.g. with a broken hitch or
other conditions.
The valve meets the legal requirements for trailers licensed to
travel at 40 km/h.
Function:
As rapid-emergency brake: If a trailer or trailer train unhitches itself
from the tractor unnoticed, then the hydraulic hose and electro
plug or release line are pulled off. Emergency braking is triggered
through the circuit break or through mechanical application. The
pull-off coupling on the drawbar serves as break-off point and
prevents oil from escaping unnoticed.
Attention: The emergency brake valve does not replace the
mechanical parking break on the trailer
For trailers fitted with an emergency brake valve, a
break test must be carried out before every trip so
that the hydraulic accumulator is recharged.
Fitting instructions:
Observe the following points:
Trailer:
-
Install pull-off coupling in a straight line to the tractor.
(Ensure that the pull- off coupling will be triggered when
the hose is pulled)
-
Check electrical parts for perfect condition and function
(security against undesired emergency braking)
Important:
Electric emergency brake valve: is enabled once
supplied with power (switch lighting on)
