1. Valve activation lever in position “1”

• When the lever (1) is in position “1” (valve activated) and the brake pedals are not pressed, a pressure of 12.5 bar (181.3 psi) is available at port B. • This pressure is supplied constantly to the trailer to release the parking brake. • When the operator engages the parking brake, the solenoid valve (2) is energised; this nullifies the pressure at port B. • The pressure at port B is directly proportional to the pressure present in the tractor braking circuits Y.

2. Valve activation lever in position “O”

• When the lever (1) is in position “O” (valve deactivated), there is no pressure at port B. In this condition, the pressure at port B is always null independently of the pressure in the tractor braking circuits. As a result, the pressure switch (2) detects the lack of pressure and illuminates the indicator light (3) on the dashboard.
