LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL AIR (PNEUMATIC) BRAKE SYSTEMS 6.3.1 INTRODUCTION & SAFETY Since 1986 trailers used for the sole purpose of Agriculture, Horticulture or Forestry, and travelling below 20mph have been allowed to have a braking performance of just 25%. This means that a tandem axled agricultural trailer with 16 tonnes of weight imposed on the road, by its tyres, would need to generate a minimum braking force of 1000 kg per wheel.
Page 80
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.3.3 TWO-LINE TRAILER AIR BRAKING SYSTEMS The two-line trailer braking system is based on HGV trailer braking systems which were designed to meet the European Council Directive 71/320/EEC. These systems use one red air line (known as a supply or emergency line) which is permanently pressurized by the tractor when coupled to the trailer, and one yellow line (known as the service or control line) which has a variable pressure.
Page 81
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.3.4 TWO-LINE SYSTEM – OPERATION The air enters the trailer via the red susie (2) and passes through a filter (6). The filter is designed to trap particles of dirt, to stop them entering other valves further down the line. It is not designed to stop water entering the trailer’s system, as this function is part of the tractor’s braking system when fitted with an air dryer.
Page 82
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL The RELSV has several functions, one of which is load sensing. The service pressure may be modified by the RELSV based upon the weight sensed by the valve, as the RELSV is connected to the suspension via a vertical linkage (rod) and its operating arm.
Page 83
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.3.5 BASIC PNEUMATIC CHECKS In order to perform some basic air checks, at least two good quality, calibrated air gauges are required, along with their connecting hoses, and often a few extra assorted test points. The trailer should have test points positioned around the system, so that tests can easily be carried out.
Page 84
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL Test 3 (Smooth Operation/No Residual Pressure) Swap the test coupling to the yellow line or attach the gauge and test hose to any test point in the yellow line leading up to port 4 of the RELSV. Attach the other gauge to a test point on any brake chamber.
Page 85
Find out the recommended unladen LSV setting pressure for your trailer. This may be on a data plate, or available from GT Bunning, or J H Milnes, the air kits supplier. This is not the pressure present in the trailer’s brakes during normal unladen braking, but is a pressure used for setting up the RELSV! Along with this unladen pressure you should also get its associated “test pressure”, as well as the laden brake...
Page 86
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL Step 6 Check the unladen setting by applying the test pressure down the yellow line (6.0 bar used in this example) and measure the RELSV output pressure. This can be measured directly at any unused port 2, or on a brake chamber. If the pressure is correct (2.5 bar in this example), then the valve is now set up.
Page 87
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.3.8.2 SPRING BRAKES FOR EMERGENCY BRAKING AND PARKING All vehicles and trailers with air brakes must have a way of stopping if the service brake system fails. Using spring brakes combines this emergency braking system with a parking-brake system. Spring brakes are not air applied like service brakes.
Page 88
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.3.8.3 DISABLING THE SPRING BRAKE CHAMBER Using a "caging bolt" or other mechanism, a technician can manually compress or "cage" the spring in a spring brake chamber. This may be necessary to move a trailer in an emergency. When a spring brake chamber fails, a technician may use the manual caging method to temporarily disable it.
Page 89
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.3.8.5 FITTING THE SPRING PARKING BRAKES With the spring parking brakes please do the following to help you remove the internal threaded rod; Fit the spring brakes to the Trailer/ tanker as normal connecting the service pipe to port 11 (normal brakes) and the spring brake pipe to port number 12.

Page 94
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.4.3.2 TIGHTENING AND RETIGHTENING WHEEL NUTS (SUMMARY): Never use impact wrenches to tighten the wheel nuts as the impact torque may be excessive. Wheel nuts should be tightened diagonally using a torque wrench. If power tools are used (for example, pneumatic torque wrench) they must be carefully set to the required torque for tightening.
Page 95
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.4.3.5 ADJUSTING THE WHEEL BEARINGS Lift the axle until the wheel is no longer resting on the ground. Large wheels should be removed so that the play is easier to feel and to make it easier to adjust the bearings. - Remove the hubcap.
Page 96
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL DISASSEMBLY: (See figures 9.3.5 and 9.3.6.a) - Slacken the wheel nuts. - Lift the axle until the wheel is off the ground. - Remove the wheel. - Release the brakes (make sure that the vehicle cannot move). - Remove the hubcap.
Page 97
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.4.3.7 REPLACING THE WHEEL BEARING New grease retaining plates should be fitted to hubs with grease retaining plates (See figure 9.3.5), as the plates will be damaged while removing the bearing cups. Unpack the bearings at the last moment and never mix them up.
Page 98
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.4.4 BRAKE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 6.4.4.1 INITIAL CHECKS The brakes should be tested before using for the first time and after the first laden journey: - Check the actuator and return spring mountings, check the actuator stroke and return travel and check that the road and parking brakes operate and release correctly.
Page 99
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.4.4.3 ADJUSTING BRAKES WITH FIXED LEVERS Take up the slack when the actuator stroke reaches about two thirds of the maximum travel (See figure 9.4.3.a). To take up the slack, turn the lever by one or more splines, ensuring that the brakes are not touching when released (to prevent overheating the brakes).
Page 100
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL For braking systems with a tandem yoke, the yoke must remain parallel with the axle especially when the brakes are fully applied (See figure 9.4.3.b). This means that the stroke of the levers on the brakes at each side must be identical. Otherwise, the brake slack must be adjusted.

LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL 6.4.7 MINIMUM PROGRAM OF MAINTENANCE This maintenance plan is intended for normal operating conditions. More frequent maintenance may be required for harsh operating conditions(construction sites, mountains, intensive use, etc)... See the following paragraphs for detailed maintenance instructions.
Page 104
LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL TYRES AND WHEELS TYRE AND WHEEL MAINTENANCE Maintenance of correct inflation pressure is the basic essential factor in obtaining the best performance and life from a pneumatic tyre. The air inside the tyre enables it to carry a load. It is only when the inflation pressure is correctly matched that the tyre adopts its optimum cross-sectional shape and the tread rests correctly on the road surface with the correct pressure distribution across its whole width, thus allowing the sidewalls to provide the required degree of flexibility.
Page 105
20%. Field dual: 88% of field load, field triple: 82% of field load. Alliance allows for free rolling application: Load capacity to be increased by 20%, after increasing the inflation pressure by 20%. Check with Alliance tyre dealer or GT Bunning before increasing the pressure beyond those stated in the tables.
