AIR PRESSURE BRAKES FOR TRAILER,
(24)
4
fitting instruction
GENERAL (fig. 1):
Instructions for operating:
--- On the two hose system the trailer is connected to
two different couplings (9--11), which have been
marked as follows:
--- C o nt a i n e r li n e --- red cover
--- B r ak e l in e --- yellow cover
On one hose system the trailer is connected to the
coupling with black cover (brake line) (is used on
some marketing areas).
The couplings of the Duo---Matic system have no
colour code, because these couplings cannot be
confused.
--- From air pressure system it is also possible to get
press for external purpose (8 bar), e.g. for tyre/tire
filling, from the coupling (fig. 1, ref 3) which is situ-
ated on the right side under the cab. Through this
coupling the system can be filled, when needed,
by outside compressed air e.g. when the com-
pressor of the tractor is broken. By doing this the
coupling can not be turned to bottom.
--- When the couplings (1) of the trailer are not in use,
keep the shields on them.
--- When the a mbient temperature is colder than
+5°C, in t he antifreeze container (3) must be filled
with ethyl alcohol or methanol. The liquid stream-
ing valve lever (4) has to be open (position 1).
The container and s treaming valve lever are situ-
ated under the right cab corner in front of the cab.
The valve with the container can be inclined when
filling by loosening the wing screw of the holder.

pressure system, about 7-- 8 bar (pressure

panel), before you start driving a tractor which
has a trailer with air pressure brakes.
--- The pressure regulator (fig 1, ref 3) adjusts the sys -
tem pressure. The system pressure can, if necess-
ary, be adjusted w ith spring 11 adjusting screw.
