6.4.2 Hydraulic brake with load adjustment valve
When hydraulic brake systems are connected to the tractor's hydraulic brake system, the trailer must be
braked via the tractor's brake system.
The brake pressure must not exceed 120 bar (12,000 kPa).
An emergency brake system must be fitted, e.g. farmer stop brake with connecting cable to the tractor; a
fixed connection to the tractor, or similar, must be established during driving operation.
Single-action connection via hydraulic coupling (SVK)

- Test the brake function before driving with the trailer.
- The response characteristics of the brake can be altered by means of a throttle check valve
in the tractor brake system (if fitted).
Work on the brake system must only be performed by authorised specialist
workshops.
6.5 Spindle brake / parking brake
Applying the brake:
To activate the spindle brake, you must turn the
crank in clockwise direction.
Do this until you feel resistance.
Releasing the brake:
To release the brake, you must turn the crank in
the opposite direction (anti-clockwise) until the
tension on the brake cable is released.
(The cable must sag slightly.)
