Manoeuvring the implement with pneumatic brake system

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

WARNING
Risk of accident due to unbraked implement

To manoeuvre the implement:

Couple the implement to a suitable tractor using the coupling device.
Manoeuvre the implement only at walking speed.

There are 2 versions of brake valves.

  1. Press in the control knob 1 of the release valve up 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. Manoeuvre the implement.
  2. Pull out the control knob of the release valve up to the stop

or

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

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

NOTE

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

  1. If there is not enough compressed air:

    couple the pneumatic brake system to a tractor.
