WARNING
With the trailer connected and lever "A" in position "0", the parking brake is enabled on
the trailer.
In case of non-use of the trailer is advisable to move the lever in the "1" position to prevent that the

engine power, with consequent higher power consumption, and unnecessary heating of the hydraulic oil.
