8.2 ‘Break-away’ brake (if fitted)
The machine hand brake (if fitted) must be applied when the machine is detached from
the tractor. The hand brake handle has a rope fitted to a calibrated ring which must
have the other end securely fixed to the tractor, each time the machine is attached to
the tractor. If the machine hitch ever becomes detached from the tractor this rope will
apply the brakes on the machine.
CAUTION: Ensure the hand brake is released when moving
Always ensure that the hand brake has been released before moving the
machine on the road or operating in a field.
