Brake system :
The spreaders are equipped with three brake systems, each one assuring a specific
function.
When parking, use the mechanical hand brake. During the transport it is the
hydraulic brake that is used. The third system is a safety device for in case the
coupling breaks (a cord between the hand brake and a fixed point on the tractor).
Connect the safety cord in case of breakage of the coupling that operates the
parking brake. Check at the start of every season, the tension of the cable
connecting to the brake rods.
PROCEDURE

equipped with the braking device. It must be coupled to the
tractor braking system.
Hydraulic braking system :
Install the red hose (4) on the pressure outlet "BRAKES" on the tractor.
Ensure the proper functioning of control and check connections for leaks. Brake
