7.2.1 Manoeuvring the uncoupled machine
CAUTION
You must be particularly careful when manoeuvring the machine
with the service brake system released, since only the vehicle
itself is now braking the machine as it manoeuvres.
The machine must be connected to the vehicle as it manoeuvres
before you actuate the release valve on the trailer brake valve.
The vehicle must be braked as it manoeuvres.
Dual circuit air brake system
The service brake system cannot be released using the release
valve if the air pressure in the air reservoir drops below 3 bar
(e.g. if the release valve has been actuated several times or if
there are leaks in the brake system).
Release the service brake as follows:
•
Fill the air reservoir.
•
Completely bleed the brake system using the drain va
lve on
the air reservoir.
1. Connect the machine to the manoeuvring vehicle.
2. Actuate the brakes on the manoeuvring vehicle.
3. Remove the wheel chocks and release the parking brake.
4. Set the hand lever on the braking force regulator to manoeu-
vring.
→ The service brake system is released and the machine can be
manoeuvred.
5. Once the manoeuvre is completed, set the hand lever on the
braking force regulator to full load.
→ The system pressure from the air reservoir brakes the machine
again.
6. Actuate the brakes on the manoeuvring vehicle.
7. Tighten the parking brake again and secure the machine against
rolling away with wheel chocks.
8. Uncouple the machine from the manoeuvring vehicle.
Hydraulic brake system
1. Connect the machine to the manoeuvring vehicle.
2. Actuate the brakes on the manoeuvring vehicle.
3. Remove the wheel chocks and release the parking brake.
4. Actuate the brakes on the manoeuvring vehicle again once
manoeuvring is complete.
5. Uncouple the machine from the manoeuvring vehicle.
