Hydraulic trailer brake
(if equipped).
Fig.5-24
To operate the hydraulic trailer brakes, connect the hose
of the trailer brakes to the coupling behind the tractor
and latch the pedals. This the trailer brakes will operate
together to the tractor's brake.
The trailer brake lines can be coupled and uncoupled while
the engine is running.
WARNING: When the tractor is operating, it
is absolutely essential to engage the parking
brake to connect the tube that links the tube
of the trailer braking system to the quick
coupling (2).
There is a indicator light (3) on the instrument cluster
appositely for the operating conditions of the oil tap for
the trailer brake.
Indicator light off: the oil tap is not connected to the
trailer; oil pressure in the system is normal with connected
trailer.
Indicator light on: the engine is stopped and the igni-
tion key turned to the first position; the parking brake is
engaged and the engine is running.
WARNING: If the indicator should come on in
different conditions, it would mean there is a
fault and it is therefore required that the sys-
tem is checked by your Argo Tractors Dealer.
WARNING: Couple and uncouple the lines of
the trailer hydraulic brake from and to the
hydraulic tap (2) on the rear of the tractor.
These operations must be carried out with the
utmost care. Your safety and that of others is
concerned.
