Cirrus 3/4/6000 DB2034 08.04
10.3 Service brake system
The Cirrus is equipped with a dual circuit air brake with hydraulically actuated brake
cylinder.
The dual circuit air brake does not react – as otherwise usual – on a rod linkage or a
brake cable for actuating the brake shoes. The dual circuit air brake reacts on a
hydraulic ram which works on the hydraulic brakes of the brake shows inside the brake
drum.
Warning!
The brake system has not got a parking brake.
Before coupling the machine off the tractor, always apply chocks.
Important!
Inspection of the service brake system
We recommend an annual check of the operational safety of the brake system as
§ 57 of BGV D 29 requires:
"The owner is obliged to have checked vehicles if necessary, in minimum,
however, once a year, by a skilled person for their operational safe condition. "
Tubings, hoses and coupling heads must show external damage or rust.
In case the visual, functional or braking check results in any damage, immedi-
ately carry out a thorough inspection of all components in a professional
workshop.
Warning!
Maintenance- and repair work on the service brake system must only be carried
out in professional workshops by skilled personnel.
Only use original spare parts for maintenance and repair work.
When carrying out any maintenance work, adhere to the legal prescriptions.
One has to be especially careful at welding-, soldering and boring work next to
brake lines.
No welding or soldering is allowed on valve chests and tubes. Replace damaged
parts.
After any setting and repair work on the braking system, conduct a brake test.
Never change the settings on the brake valves determined by the manufacturer.
