WARNING
Risk of accidents when driving with the
emergency release screw!
Driving with the emergency release screw
fitted can make the brake system inoper-
ative and result in accidents.
► Ensure that the emergency release
screw has been returned to the park-
ing position before driving off again.
If the compressed air for the parking
brake's spring storage fails due to a defect,
the braking effect can be cancelled via an
emergency release device on the brake
cylinders.
The spring storage of the brake system
can be operated without compressed air
using the emergency release device. When
the emergency release device is activated,
the spring storage is clamped on each
wheel and the parking brake is opened. By
doing so, the trailer can be towed or man-
oeuvred.
INFO
The shape of the spring storage can vary
according to the model and differ from the
figure shown.
