Kubota M7-132 User Manual

2.1 When towing a dual-line trailer brake
type trailer
When
the parking brake is set to “ON”, the brakes are
applied to wheels on both the tractor and trailer sides,
and the brake performance when parked improves.
(See Trailer brake on page 140.)
3. Trailer brake
The trailer brakes are activated when using the tractor's
brake
pedals. It uses the pressure from the main
hydraulic or air compresser circuit. The braking force
while towing is proportional to the force applied on the
tractor pedals.
It is most useful when towing very heavy loads, this
device considerably increases braking efficiency and
safety.
3.1 Confirmation
This machine is equipped with connectors for
pneumatic and/or hydraulic trailer brakes.
When
connecting the trailer, check the trailer side brake
type carefully before correctly connecting the various
hoses.
Connection errors will inhibit full brake performance,
which is extremely dangerous.
Confirm the trailer side brake type with the following
illustration.
(1) Pneumatic trailer brakes
(2)
Hydraulic trailer brake
3.2 Hydraulic trailer brake
(1) Hydraulic control hose (large diameter, green cap)
Connect the hydraulic hose of the towed vehicle to the
outlet
(large diameter) of the tractor. If the hydraulic
brake hose are not connected, the brake system may
malfunction and accidents may occur. Carefully check
the brake mechanism of the towed vehicle and connect
the hoses correctly.
• The hydraulic control hose (large diameter, green
cap) has the role of transmitting the signal from the
foot brake pedal to activate the trailer brakes.
NOTE :
• Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
before attaching and detaching the hydraulic
hose.
IMPORTANT :
• Make sure to only connect and use a trailer with
hydraulic trailer brake.
3.3 Pneumatic trailer brake
(1) Connector (A), yellow (dual-line brake)
(2)
Connector (B), red (dual-line brake)
Connect the air hoses securely to the connectors (A)
and (B) of the tractor
.
Air is constantly supplied to the trailer side air tank via
the red connector hose.
Pneumatic pressure proportional to the force on the
brake pedal is transmitted via the yellow connector
