Tractor/Trailer Brake Bias Control - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATION

Tractor/Trailer Brake Bias Control

When the tractor leaves the factory, this control is set
to allow maximum available braking effort to the
trailer. Under most conditions, the control will remain
in this position and will give well balanced braking.
Occasionally, with some trailers this setting may
provide a greater braking bias to the trailer than is
ideal. In this case the braking force to the trailer may
be reduced slightly by turning the adjuster (1) in an
anti--clockwise direction.
To turn the valve, it is first necessary to pull the knob
207
out. After adjustment, push the knob in to lock the
setting. The adjuster must be reset to the fully
clockwise position when a different trailer is used.
WARNING
The brake balance adjustment is extremely sensitive
and should not be rotated more than one half turn
before testing with the attached trailer fully loaded. If
further adjustments are required, they should be
carried out following the same procedure. Failure to
do this may result in an imbalance between tractor
and trailer braking forces if the valve is rotated too far
in the anti--clockwise direction.
