Hydraulic Trailer Brakes (Italy Only) - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
(Italy only)
The hydraulic trailer braking system on tractors for
the Italian market function in a slightly different way
to the universal system previously described.
If the trailer brake hose is connected into the coupling
the trailer brakes will be automatically applied when
the footbrakes are used to stop the tractor or when
the tractor handbrake is applied when the engine is
running. When the engine is switched off, the trailer
brakes will remain applied.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that the brake pedals are
locked together to ensure correct operation of trailer
brakes, balanced operation of the tractor brakes and
four wheel braking (four wheel drive tractors only).
To release hydraulic pressure and free the trailer
brakes, start the engine, depress both brake pedals
and release the tractor handbrake.
NOTE: The light (1), on the instrument panel will
flash, accompanied by critical alarm, to indicate that
hydraulic oil pressure to the trailer brake circuit is low.
Stop the engine and investigate the cause.
ATTENTION: Should the trailer brake warning light
commence to flash, the trailer brakes will apply
automatically.
NOTE: Always keep the dust- -cap in place when the
trailer brake coupling is not in use. It is a legal
requirement in most countries that trailer brakes may
only be connected to the tractor coupling by means
of a compatible female coupling.
