Ok it’s been a while since I have drove an artic .There is a couple of things I forget .I remember there is a button in the cab you press when driving with a heavy load .What is this called also one to help brake as well ?
The button you’re probably on about could be to lower the mid lift axle on the unit usually marked with 2 wheels and an arrow but does vary. The brake button you’re probably on about is now a lever usually to the right of the steering wheel but that could vary its called the engine brake and could have several settings.
HTH.

Full load a problem? getting Kays catalogue out used to work years ago…
can someone help me find the go faster button ,i know it’s here somewhere
Think the auxillary or service brake anybody know where these are ?
One I am looking for is the one to help slow down when braking ?
Other I think is when you have a load on to give more power ?
