Coupling and uncoupling the implement
154
Cirrus 03 BAH0101-05 11.19
7.1 Dual-circuit pneumatic braking system
The brake system depends on the weight of the implement, which
changes when adding or removing accessories (e.g., the GreenDrill
catch crop seed drill).
The brake system may have to be adapted to the changed
framework conditions (total weight / axle load, see rating plate).
Before putting the implement into operation, contact your specialist
workshop or AMAZONE service.
DANGER
Before uncoupling the implement from the tractor, secure it
with wheel chocks and apply the implement's parking brake.
Only remove the wheel chocks once the implement has been
coupled up to the tractor. Then release the implement's parking
brake.
WARNING
If the implement, when uncoupled from the tractor, has full
compressed air tanks, the compressed air from the air tanks
acts on the implement brakes and the wheels are blocked.
The compressed air in the compressed air tank and hence the
braking force will drop continuously until there is a complete
brake failure, if the compressed air tank is not refilled. This is
why the implement may only be parked using wheel chocks and
with the implement's parking brake applied.
The implement brakes are released immediately with a full
compressed air tank when the supply line (red) is connected to
the tractor. For this reason, the implement must be connected
to the lower links of the tractor and the parking brake of the
implement and tractor must be applied before the supply line
(red) is connected. Only then can the wheel chocks be
removed.
Compliance with the maintenance intervals is essential for proper
functioning of the service brake system.
