Parking the machine;
¾ Apply the parking brake with the crank handle
and block the wheels.
¾ Place wheel chocks under the wheels.
¾ Disconnect the brake line and unhitch the
machine.
Unhitching does not trigger the breakaway
brake. Emergency braking is only triggered if
the spring cotter is turned to the front.
The valve has two positions:
A - operating position
B - emergency braking
Breakaway brake valve
1 Manual brake releasing valve
Emergency braking caused by the breakaway
brake valve can also be released without the
tractor.
Turn the spring cotter back to working position
and operate the manual brake releasing valve
until the brake is released.
Uncontrolled rolling of the machine can cause
severe injuries by crushing or rolling over.
Park the machine only on level ground with suf-
cient load bearing capacity.
Secure the machine with wheel chocks against
rolling before releasing the brake.
Parking brake (crank handle)
¾ Always apply the parking brake and secure
the machine against rolling away before park-
ing the machine.
¾ Release the parking brake before parking for
a longer period of time or after the end of the
season. Brake pads may otherwise stick to
the drum and make restarting of the machine
more dicult.
¾ Always release the parking brake before
transport travels. The ropes must be relieved
and the wheels must be free to rotate.
¾ Check the function of the parking brake before
connecting the machine.
¾ Where necessary adjust the cable or the
brake pads.
