Service brake
The tractor's trailer control valve is used to
operate the service brake hydraulically.
Service brake diagram, braked
When the tractor brake pedal is actuated,
the hydraulic ram (2) extends. The hydrau-
lic ram (2) pushes the brake lever (1) into
the brake position.
Service brake diagram, non-braked
After braking, the tension spring (3) ret-
racts the brake lever (1).
The braking system is thus released.
