Driving with a full load

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… :smiling_imp:

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 ?
