Moving the machine with a tractor (without an air brake system)
The machine can be moved by a tractor, without an air brake system, even though the
air reservoir is full and the hoses are not connected. Locate the air reservoir tank on
the side of the machine. Pull the ring underneath which releases the air and hold until
all the air has escaped.
The tractor can now move the machine once the hand brake has been released.
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.
10.14.3 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.
CAUTION: The machine and tractor must be connected first
This procedure is only allowed when the machine is attached to a tractor
first. By draining the air, the service air brake line will no longer operate.
This procedure should be used for emergency purposes only to move a
machine around in a yard on a level surface. The machine should never
be operated in such a condition or moved on hilly terrain.
WARNING: Must be qualified to work on the brake drums
This work should only be carried out by qualified persons or your McHale
dealer, who are familiar with braking systems.
