Brakes of trailers and semi-trailers
When driving with a trailer or semi-trailer connected, the footbrake pedals must be connected
and secured by a latch!
Connection of the ABS system of the trailer or semi-trailer
If the trailer or semi-trailer is equipped with the ABS
system, insert the control cable of this system into the
socket located in the rear part of the tractor, near outlets
of the outer hydraulic circuit.
Button to temporarily deactivate the trailer or semi-trailer hydraulic brakes
Prior to using the button for temporary deactivation of brakes of the trailer or semi-trailer, it is
always necessary to provide sufficient space in front of the tractor and behind the connected trailer
or semi-trailer where no obstacles or persons will be present for the case that the effect of the
parking braking will not be sufficient and the combination of vehicles moves.
The button for temporary deactivation of brakes of the trailer or semi-trailer can be used by the operator of
the tractor with the connected trailer or semi-trailer to make sure that the effect of the parking braking system
of the tractor with the connected trailer or semi-trailer when the tractor is braked with the hand brake is
sufficient.
If there is a tractor with the connected trailer or semi-trailer which is braked with the hand brake and the key
in the switch box is in the position (I), and we press the button for temporary deactivation of brakes of the
trailer or semi-trailer, the trailer or semi-trailer is deactivated for the time when the button is pressed (the
trailer or semi-trailer does not brake). When the button for temporary deactivation of brakes of the trailer or
semi-trailer is released, the brakes of the trailer or semi-trailer are activated (the trailer or semi-trailer
brakes).
The temporary deactivation button for the trailer or semi-trailer brakes only deactivates the
trailer or semi-trailer hydraulic brakes.
