Operation 5
Compressed-air braking system of trailer (option)
Important safety instructions regarding the compressed-air
braking system
• If indicator light 77 illuminates, the air pressure in the compressed-air
braking system is too low. Start machine travel with a trailer hitched
only if the digital display J reads a pressure of over 5.0 bar (73 psi).
• For machine travel without a trailer, the covers of the compressed-air
couplings on the tractor vehicle must be closed.
• The compressed-air couplings on the supply lines of the trailer must be
closed as well, or inserted in the dummy coupling heads.
• Before attaching the trailer, ensure that the sealing rings of the
compressed-air couplings are clean and that they are not damaged.
• Pay attention to the compressed-air ports when connecting the supply
lines.
- Dual-circuit brake system A = red (tank), B = yellow (brake)
• Coupling and uncoupling compressed-air hoses (dual-circuit braking
system). Pay attention to the correct chronological order when
connecting and removing the supply lines
– see “Coupling compressed-air hoses (dual-circuit braking system)”
on page 5-120
– see “Uncoupling compressed-air hoses (dual-circuit braking system)”
on page 5-120
• Before moving off, set the lever of the trailer brake-power controller to
the corresponding position (empty, half empty, full load).
• Trailers allowed to travel over 25 km/h (16 mph) must undergo specific
inspections as required by StVZO (German road traffic regulations),
§29, appendix VII.
Get informed on and follow the legal regulations of your country
• Do not exceed the permissible maximum weight of the trailer.
• The maximum travel speed of the tractor/trailer combination is always
the maximum speed of the slowest trailer.
• Check the drive belt on the compressed-air compressor at regular
intervals for correct tension and damage.
Have repair and adjustment work on the braking system performed by an
authorized service centre only!
