Manoeuvring the machine with pneumatic brake system

If the machine 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 machine, 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.
  1. Press in the control knob 1 of the release valve up to the stop.

The compressed air that acts on the brakes escapes.

  1. Manoeuvre the machine.
  2. Pull out the control knob of the release valve up to the stop.

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

NOTE

To brake the machine 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.
