Temporary deactivation of the trailer or semi-trailer air brakes using the handbrake lever
Before using the temporary deactivation of the brakes of a trailer or semi-trailer with
a handbrake lever, there must always be sufficient free space in front of the tractor and behind
a trailer or semi-trailer in which there are no obstructions or any persons in case the parking braking
effect is not sufficient and the set moves.
Temporary deactivation of the brakes of a trailer or semi-
trailer by a handbrake lever serves to ensure that the
trailer with a trailer or semi-trailer can be assured that the
effect of parking braking on the trailer with the trailer or
trailer is sufficient when the tractor brakes with the hand
brake.
If, when the tractor is stationary and has sufficient air
pressure in the tractor's air pressure system (min. 10 bar),
with attached trailer or semi-trailer and braked by
handbrake, push the handbrake lever in the direction of
the arrow (downwards) and move the lever back to the
rear to stop, the brakes of the trailer or semi-trailer are
deactivated while the handbrake lever is in the rear
position (the trailer or the semi-trailer does not brake).
After releasing the handbrake lever, the handbrake lever
automatically returns to the braked position, and the trailer
or trailer brakes are activated (trailer or trailer brakes).
Temporary deactivation of the trailer or semi-trailer brakes by the handbrake lever deactivates
the trailer or semi-trailer air brakes only.
