DRIVING OPERATION
Air brakes of trailers and articulated trailers
Control of air brakes of trailers (or semi-trailers) and control of the tractor brakes is performed so that the
braking effect of both vehicles is synchronized.
The operating pressure is set by the pressure regulator to the value of 740 ± 20 kPa. If the pressure drops
below 550 - 40 kPa, secondary appliances are put out of operation by the by-pass valve.
