4.4 HYDRAULIC BRAKE (OPTION)
GENERAL
Brakes cannot be installed after delivery. Hydraulic brakes must be connected to the
compressed brake couplings on the tractor. The brakes are non self‐adjusting drum brakes.
NOTE: In order for the emergency brake to function, the line must be hooked securely to the
tractor.
USE
Braking force is regulated by the pressure applied to the tractor's brake pedal. The brake
cylinders and the brake lever stroke have been designed to provide sufficient braking power
without locking the wheels. SEE “5.5 HYDRAULIC BRAKES (OPTION)” ON PAGE 99.
EMERGENCY BRAKE
In order for the emergency brake to function, the wire in the parking brake lever must be
secured to the tractor. The emergency brake engages if the machine is set to come loose from
the tractor.
PARKING BRAKE
Always park the implement on a stable and level surface.
Activate the parking brake by pulling the lever (A). Release the parking brake by slightly moving
the lever forwards and then to the upright position.
If the implement has to be parked on or close to a public road, the machine must also be
secured by chocks being put under the transport wheels.
If the machine is to be parked for an extended period of time, the parking brake should be
disengaged. Instead, the machine should be secured with chocks.
