Brake System
Functional Description
The compressor's service brake comes on
automatically when uncoupling the feed line from the
truck.
When coupling the feed line from the truck, the
brake opens automatically once a minimum pressure
of 6.5 bar (94.3 psi) has been reached.
Manual operation of brake system
Spring-loaded parking brake
To activate the parking brake, pull the red button (1)
until it snaps into place. To release the parking brake
press the button (1). By activating and releasing the
parking brake the air pressure in the system drops.
When the pressure is less than 5.2 bar (75.4 psi),
releasing the brake by pressing the button is not
possible anymore. Connect the brake lines to a truck
to raise the air pressure.

The brake system is automatically activated when the
supply line from the towing vehicle is disconnected.
To be able to move the compressor without having to
connect the brake lines pull the black button (2) until
it snaps into place. To activate the service brake press
the button (2).

Secure the compressor with wheel
chocks. If the parking brake is released
the spring-loaded brake is released and
the compressor can start to move. This
can cause injuries and even death.
Only activate the parking brake when
the brakes are cooled down.
When the release valve of the service
brake is activated whilst the compressor
is not properly coupled, the compressor
may start moving. As a result of related
accidents people may get injured, killed
or equipment may be damaged.
When driving with an opened release
valve, it is only the truck that is braking
the compressor. As a result of related
accidents people may get injured, killed
or equipment may be damaged.
