Emergency braking in the case of breakaway from the towing vehicle
If the compressor breaks away from the towing vehicle, the cable tightens and pulls on the emer‐
gency brake (parking brake).
It is essential that the breakaway cable is threaded through its guides for correct emergency brak‐
ing.

1.
Unintentional brake application.
If the breakaway cable is too short it can apply the brakes when rounding a curve. This impos‐
es high wear on the braking system.
➤ Make sure the breakaway cable is long enough.
2. Thread the breakaway cable through the guide welded on the side of the towbar.
3. Loop the end of the cable round the towing vehicle hitch and secure with the karabiner.
Additional breakaway prevention
Safety chains are accessories.
The towbar may be provided with two safety chains as additional protection against breakaway
from the towing vehicle (see
9).
If these are provided, it is essential that they be attached to the towing vehicle before towing.
1. Pick up the ends of the chains and cross the chains.
2. Loop the ends over the hooks provided on the towing vehicle.
3. If no special hooks are provided, secure the chains to the ball hitch.
12.2.2 Parking the compressor
The parking brake is not a running brake and is used only to lock the wheels when the machine is
positioned.
The machine is generally only moved by being coupled to a towing vehicle. If the jockey wheel is
wound too far out, the spindle can disengage and the towbar fall to the ground.
