Maintaining and servicing
A maintenance service in a professional workshop is necessary when:
The brake performance is reducing continuously and/or
The brakes squeal or grate heavily when activating the foot brake.
9.16.3 Hydraulic brakes (optional)
The machine is equipped with hydraulic drum brakes, using single-line activation.
Connection with the tractor
Connect the female hydraulic brake hose to the tractor after shutting down the engine.
The tractor may have a ‘pressure release’ function, allowing connection to the machine
brake hose while the engine is running.
The brake is activated by pushing the foot brake pedals in the tractor cabin. For that
reason, the brake can only work when the hydraulic hose is connected to the tractor
properly and the tractor engine is running.
Performance of the brake chamber cylinders
The brake chamber cylinders activate or deactivate the drum brakes. If the pistons of
the brake chamber cylinders bottom out, the brake performance may fail completely.
Possible causes are damaged or worn brake shoes and/or defective joints or improper
adjustment.
