Maneuvering the implement with pneumatic brake system

If the implement is disconnected from the tractor, the compressed air from the compressed air tank acts on the brakes and the wheels are blocked. In order to move the uncoupled implement, the compressed air that activates the brakes must be vented with the release valve on the brake valve.

WARNING
Risk of accident due to unbraked implement

To maneuver the implement:

Couple the implement to a suitable tractor using the coupling device.
Only maneuver the implement at walking speed.

There are 2 types of brake valves.

  1. Press in the control knob 1 of the release valve to the stop

or

Turn the hand lever 2 of the brake valve to the position.

The compressed air that acts on the brakes escapes.

  1. Maneuver the implement.
  2. Pull out the control knob of the release valve to the stop

or

Adjust the hand lever of the brake valve to the load status.

Compressed air flows again flows out of the compressed air tank to the brakes. The wheels are blocked again.

NOTE

To brake the implement again, there must be sufficient compressed air in the compressed air tank.

  1. If there is not sufficient compressed air:

    connect the pneumatic brake system to a tractor.
