When you apply the parking brake, the
trailer is secured against rolling. Once
you have applied the parking brake, you
will still be able to push the trailer back-
wards approx. 25 cm. Only then does the
full braking effect come into play. The
forwards braking effect is immediately
effective.
• Ensure that the full braking effect is
applied.

ing effect is applied.
