Page 29: General Design And Principles Of Operation
General design and principles of operation The T703A Trailer is a metal structure with a load-carrying body tilting sideways and backwards. The Trailer is equipped with a pneumatic or hydraulic brake (with a braking-force regulator, depending on the load) and a parking brake controlled manually, by means of a helical gearbox acting on the friction elements of the service brake on the rear axle. - Page 30 The condition of the hydraulic system should be monitored on an ongoing basis while the Trailer is in use. When connecting the Trailer's and tractor's hydraulic systems, observe the required cleanness of the connectors. INSTRUCTION MANUAL – T703A FARMING TRUCK TRAILER...
