the valve is not controlled; when the tractor brakes are
activated, pressure builds in the pilot flow housing of
the trailer braking valve and the trailer braking line
communicates with the pump supply. The control
pressure and trailer brake pressure are proportional
until the pressure reaches 150 bar. The proportional
solenoid valve (15) is controlled by the Autotronic 5
according to the signal received by a pressure sensor
located on the front brake control. The proportional
solenoid valve (15) is supplied with 18 bar pressure
(hydraulic transmission circuit) and controls the trailer
braking valve between 0 and 17 bar, depending on the
signal received. The solenoid valve (16) ensures the
trailer braking valve (14) is controlled when the emer-
gency handbrake (lever 25) is activated, if the ParkLock
switch on the reverse shuttle lever is not engaged. A
circuit selector allows the trailer braking valve to be
controlled by one of the two solenoid valves.

reducing ram to reduce gradually from 120 to 0 bar. It
also ensures limits pressure in the ram to 120 bar, as
the supply pressure of this valve is between 135 and
165 bar.

The spool valves are fitted with pressure balances

(3 Fig 4). The role of these balances is to regulate the
flow rate, depending on the load.
When using 2 hydraulic functions simultaneously, the
pump locks depending on which function has the
higher demand, the balance of the spool valve with the
lowest pressure operates at reduced pressure and
creates a ∆P of the difference between use pressure
and pump pressure. The flow rate used by this spool
valve remains stable regardless of other functions
used, provided that the pump capacity is adequate.
The flow rate is adjusted by the spool (1); the elec-
tronics adjust the spool opening depending on the flow

A . General
MF 8400 series tractors are fitted with a trailer braking
system and an electrohydraulic ParkLock (parking
brake) controlled by the Autotronic 5.
The two systems are assembled in a hydraulic unit
(1 Fig. 1) located above the gearbox and are supplied
by the variable displacement pump of the tractor auxil-
iary hydraulics circuit. The priority of these safety func-
tions is ensured by the priority block (2 Fig. 1) which
also ensures distribution of the hydraulic flow to the
various hydraulic functions of the tractor (linkage, auxil-
iary spool valves).

Cooling
Excess flow from the steering circuit is directed to the MA-09-03588A
distribution block via (Tdir), then to the cooler located Fig. 3
at the front of the tractor. A 5 bar by-pass valve is fitted
parallel to the cooling system to avoid overloading the
cooler. A pressure connector (PpAC) fitted to the block
allows the pressure of the cooling system to be
checked.
Tank return
All circuit returns are centralised on the distribution
block and return to the tank via a single hose (T Fig. 2).
NOTE: In order to avoid increasing the cooling system
pressure due to the high pressure circuit return, a
non-return valve is located on the cooler return
(1 Fig. 3).

F . Trailer brake operation

General (Fig. 6)
The trailer braking valve (1) is controlled by the
Autotronic 5. The calculator receives pressure data
from the tractor braking circuit, and controls the
braking valve (1) via a proportional solenoid valve (2).
The trailer braking valve (1) can also be controlled by a
safety solenoid valve (3). A circuit selector allows the
valve to be controlled by one of the two solenoid
valves. The valve is controlled on the transmission
18 bar circuit, the pressure being supplied by a fixed
displacement pump located on the gearbox.
NOTE: The safety solenoid valve (3) supplies the trailer

braking valve when it is not powered. It is switched on
when the tractor is started.
NOTE: When the emergency handbrake (lever
6 Fig. 11) is applied, the safety solenoid valve (3)
returns to standby position and the trailer brake is
supplied.
Neutral position
When the tractor brakes are not activated, the control
solenoid valve (2) is at neutral. The safety solenoid
valve (3) is powered. The braking valve (1) is not
controlled. The trailer braking coupler communicates
with the tank.

Braking position (Fig. 7)

When the brakes are activated, the Autotronic 5
controls the proportional valve (2) depending on the
pressure measured by the sensor located at the
braking spool valve on the tractor front axle braking
circuit (TR34).
When braking, the proportional solenoid valve (2)
controls the trailer braking valve with pressure Px. The
braking valve (1) connects line FR with the high pres-
sure circuit.
The control pressure and trailer brake pressure FR are
proportional until trailer braking pressure reaches
150 bar.

G . ParkLock operation
General
The ParkLock is an electrohydraulic system used for
the parking brake. It can also be used as an emergency
1
handbrake in the relevant circumstances. It comprises
a ram (1 Fig. 8) mechanically connected to the tractor
brakes. The ParkLock ram comprises two springs
which activate the brakes. These are released by the
hydraulic pressure applied to the ram.
The ram comprises two helical springs, a hydraulic
piston and a cable mechanism linked to the brakes.
When the pressure in the ram chamber is neutral, the
springs activate the brakes; when the chamber is pres-
surised, the piston compresses the springs to release
the brakes.
The assembly is controlled by an Autotronic 5 type
electronic calculator (see chapter 11).
The ram is supplied by a circuit comprising an accumu-
lator (3) maintained at 135 - 165 bar pressure by the
make and break valve (4). For safety reasons, two pres-
sure switches (5) are fitted on the make and break
circuit to detect any circuit failure (Fig. 9).
DANGER: The ParkLock ram must under no

MA-09-03611A
circumstances be disassembled. The springs in the
ParkLock ram are constantly compressed and can
cause serious injury to the operator.

Use
Parking brake (A Fig. 13)
The ParkLock is usually activated by the button located
under the reverse shuttle lever to the left of the
steering wheel (11 Fig. 10). When activated, the
button controls the solenoid valve (7 Fig. 9) via the
calculator. When the solenoid valve is supplied, it
connects the ram chamber with the tank, and the Park-
Lock is engaged. When the operator activates the
button (11) to disengage the ParkLock, the solenoid
valve is no longer supplied. The ram receives the pres-
sure, the springs are compressed and the brakes are
released.
Emergency handbrake (B Fig. 13)

Fig. 10
In case of emergency, the ParkLock can be activated
by the lever (6) located to the left of the driver's seat in
the cab. The lever acts mechanically on a proportional
spool valve (8) which connects the ram chamber with
the tank return and activates the brakes.
When using the emergency handbrake, the trailer
brake is also supplied by the safety solenoid valve
(3 Fig. 7).
To use the emergency handbrake, see the Operator
Instruction Book.

Make and break valve

The make and break circuit is located in the braking 4 9
block. It is supplied by a priority valve in the braking
circuit (9 Fig. 14).
The make and break valve maintains the pressure in
the two accumulators between 135 and 165 bar.
One accumulator is used for the ParkLock; the other 135 bar
for the tractor braking circuit.
Parklock 22 bar
Valve opening (Fig. 14)

When the accumulator pressure drops below 135 bar,
the valve opens to load the circuit. The spool connects
the ParkLock Load Sensing line with the pump flow so
that the pump can increase the flow rate as required to
load the accumulators.
MA-09-03591A
Fig. 14
Valve closing (Fig. 15)
When the pressure reaches 165 bar, the pressure
shifts the spool. In this position, the ParkLock Load
Sensing line connects with the tank to release pres-
sure in the Load Sensing line and reduce the pump 4 9
flow rate.
A non-return valve (A) maintains the pressure in the
ParkLock circuit. A

A solenoid valve (10 Fig. 16) is fitted to the ParkLock

Load Sensing line. When the tractor is started, the
solenoid valve closes the ParkLock LS line so that the
pump is not is operating at full flow rate, thus helping
the engine to start. This solenoid valve is controlled by
acting on the starter.

Hydraulic part
See operation below.
Electrohydraulic part comprising:

- an ON / OFF solenoid valve and a 3-way pressure
relief valve located on the end plate of the distribu-
tion block
- a pilot valve fitted in the electrohydraulic unit.
This section only deals with the hydraulic part. For the
electronic part, see Chapter 11.
The electrohydraulically controlled SB23LS EHS spool
valves operate in a Closed Centre circuit. They are
supplied with high pressure, high flow rate oil from the
priority block.
If no priority function is activated, all flow is directed to
the spool valves. When certain priority functions are
activated, the excess flow then remains available for
the auxiliary spool valves.
The adjustment of the flow rate, expressed as a
percentage, may be displayed on the onboard
computer (Datatronic) by the operator (see chapter 11
- Electronics).
The electrohydraulic spool valves have a floating posi-
tion, time delay and zero leak valve on port B.
The main spool of the spool valve directs oil towards
the outlet ports A or B.
The spool valves consist of both electronic and
hydraulic components, the latter containing spools and
valves.
Some elements cannot be repaired as spare parts.

Lift control valve
A . General
The function of the lift control valve is to regulate the
oil flow to and from the lift rams according to the
signals transmitted by the ELC calculator.
This spool valve contains an LS port for the Load
Sensing system. This control port allows the spool
valve to send pressure information to the priority block.
This spool valve is made up of elements themselves
comprising spools and valves. Some of the elements
cannot be repaired as spare parts.

A . General
The steering system used on tractors fitted with a
DYNA VT transmission and closed centre hydraulics is
dynamic, and there is no mechanical link between the
steering wheel and the steering ram.
Its control principle is of the "Load Sensing" type.
The system comprises the following main compo-
nents:
- a pressurised oil supply, from a fixed displacement
pump via a priority valve,
- an Orbitrol steering unit: OSPDF 80/240 LS Dynamic
4WD with closed centre, by-pass mounted on trac-
tors fitted with a 4WD Dana AG210 or AG280 front
axle.
- a double acting steering ram fitted to the 4WD front
axle.
The Orbitrol is supplied by a fixed flow rate pump via a

priority block. The priority block is controlled by the
steering unit Load Sensing line, and directs priority oil
flow to the steering circuit; excess flow is redirected to
the distribution block then to the cooling circuit. When
steering remains in neutral, all pump flow is directed to
the cooling system.
When the steering wheel is turned, the necessary flow

of oil is directed to the corresponding side of the
steering ram. The other side of the ram is connected
to the tank return ports.
In case of engine breakdown or fixed displacement

pump failure, the Orbitrol acts as a hand-operated
pump so that the steering can be controlled. This obvi-
ously requires a much greater effort to be applied to
the steering wheel.

Description of the Orbitrol steering unit

The Orbitrol comprises a selector spool valve, a spring
centred supply sleeve and a drive shaft linked to the
steering column. It has five hydraulic ports:
- pressure
- return to the selector cover
- two supplies to the steering ram
- Load Sensing
The circuit is protected by a safety valve and two shock
valves as well as two suction valves.
The Orbitrol OSPDF 80/240 comprises twin stator

rotors (5)(8) of different capacities.
Specifications:
- Shock valves (1)(2) setting: 225 -245 bar
- Supply valve (3) setting: 155 -160 bar
- Steering unit (5) capacity: 240 cm3 / turn
- Steering unit (8) capacity: 80 cm3 / turn
- Supply valve (6) setting: 10 bar
- Return to neutral springs torque (4): 1.5 daNm

B . The Load Sensing principle

Orbitrol steering unit
The Load Sensing port is either connected with the
tank when the steering is in neutral position, or
connected with the pressure supply line as soon as the
steering wheel is turned. The Load Sensing line
communicates with the pump priority valve. The
standby pressure to the Orbitrol supply (on standby) is
12.5 bar.

Two shock valves and two suction valves are located

in ports L and R of the steering unit. The shock valves
protect the circuit between the two steering ram
chambers and the steering unit from shocks to the

metering devices (27)(31) and (28)(30). The rotors
(27)(31) are driven in rotation and discharge a quantity
of oil proportional to the degree of rotation towards the
rams. The rotation of rotors (27)(31) is equal to that of
the steering wheel.
Depending on the direction of rotation, the flow of oil
from the rotors is sent to one side or the other of the
ram.

Manual steering (engine stopped) (Fig. 4)

When the pump is no longer providing pressure or
when the pressure is too low, the rotors (27)(31) are no
longer hydraulically driven. Steering is no longer power
assisted.
In this case, action on the steering wheel compresses
the centring springs (2). The angular clearance
between the pin (5) and sleeve (6) is cancelled and the
metering devices (rotor and stator) and mechanically
driven. The oil returning from the rams passes through
the non-return valve (38) and supplies the metering
device.
The pressure generated is proportional to the torque
applied to the steering wheel. A great effort is there-
fore required to turn the wheel in order to steer the
tractor.

F . Steering column
The steering column assembly comprises two parts:
- the fixed lower part composed of a pipe and a body
foot
- the mobile upper part composed of a pipe with a
welded stirrup, as well as a unit holding the steering
wheel height and tilt adjustment systems.
Operation
Height adjustment
When the control lever (4) is moved upwards, the T rod
makes the lever (6) pivot, lowering the arm (20). The
screw (5) integral with the arm presses against the
brake plate, freeing it and allowing the upper part of
the steering column to move. The spring (3) returns
the lever (4) to position.
Tilt adjustment
When the control lever (4) is moved downwards, press
the T rod which pushes against the end of the notched
lever (9)(10), freeing it from the steering rack (11)(12)
and allowing the upper part of the unit (17) to tilt.
Two silent blocks (24) absorb shocks to the tilt stop of
the upper part of the column.
The two return springs (25) and (26) facilitate steering
wheel positioning.

- the trailer brake control via a pressure sensor located - Piston stroke: 6.1 mm
on the valve. - Rear brake / front brake pressure ratio: 2.04 bar
- Maximum braking pressure: 18 bar
Rear brakes
Located in the rear axle, the two disc brakes are inde-
pendent. Each brake is controlled hydraulically by a
cylinder, or mechanically by the ParkLock ram.
The braking valve is supplied by the make and break
valve located under the distribution block with an accu-
mulator that maintains a pressure reserve of 135 - 165
bar (see "Trailer braking and ParkLock” section).
The braking valve includes a pressure relief valve (0-70
bar). The pressure is distributed to the brake by two
spools located on either side of the pressure relief
valve.
Front axle shaft brake

The front axle brake is located at the front of the
gearbox. It is a hydraulically controlled multidisc brake.
The main braking valve controls a power-assisted
braking valve which operates the front brake under a
18 bar max. pressure (transmission low pressure
circuit).
Trailer brake
The trailer brake is controlled electro-hydraulically. A
pressure sensor informs the Autotronic 5 calculator of
the pressure in the braking circuit. This then activates
a proportional solenoid valve that controls the trailer
brake valve via the transmission 18 bar circuit (see
“Trailer braking and ParkLock” section).

E . Rear brake cylinders

The rear brake cylinders are located on the rear axle,
beside the trumpet housings.
Description (Fig. 7)
The rear axle braking system consists of a brake
cylinder (1), a piston (2), and a rod (5) that acts on an
assembly (3) comprised of discs (6) and intermediate
plates (7) (see chapter 6). The brake disc assembly is
fitted before the final drive unit (4) in the rear trumpet
housing.
The piston acts on the rod (5) whose triangular end
allows the two intermediate plates (9) and (10) to
swivel in relation to each other. When swivelling, the
intermediate plates (9) and (10) are kept separate by MA-09-03636A Fig. 5
balls (8). Return springs (18) restore the intermediate
plates (9) and (10) to position when the brakes are
released.
The port (16) is linked to the bleed circuit by a pipe (see
§ G).
Operation
Braking can be activated hydraulically (brake pedals) or
mechanically (ParkLock).
Pedal braking
The braking pressure (coming from the braking valve)
arrives at the cylinder via the port (14) (Fig. 7). The 11
piston (2) is forced down by the pressure, driving down
the lower part of the piston (17) and rod (5) and acti- 5 17
vates the braking mechanism.
MA-09-03637A
Mechanical braking (ParkLock) Fig. 6

When the brakes are activated by the ParkLock ram,
the levers (18) activate the cams (11 Fig. 6). As they
rotate they drive the lower part of the pistons (17) and
rod (5) and activate the braking mechanism.
When the lower part of the piston (17) has lowered,
the spring (15) keeps the upper part of the piston (2) at
the top of the cylinder.

Operation
The front axle shaft brake operates in a similar manner
to the rear brakes. A piston (20 Fig. 8) pushes a rod
(21) with a triangular end. The triangular part allows
two intermediate plates (22 Fig. 9) to swivel in relation
to each other, while they are held apart by balls (23).

(2) Rear left-hand brake
(3) Rear right-hand brake 3
The trailer brake is bled through the bleed plug located

on top of the distribution block (Fig. 11).
NOTE: The brakes must be bled every 1200 hours, or

when working on the braking circuit.
Bleeding method MA-09-03624A

Fig. 10
1. Start the engine.
2. Open the right-hand (3), left-hand (2) and front (1)
bleed plugs (Fig. 10).
3. Press moderately on the coupled brake pedals,
with pedal travel of approximately 20 mm.
NOTE: Never press the pedals down more than 25
mm when the bleed plugs are open. A jet of oil
under pressure will spurt out of the bleed plugs.
4. Let the air bleed out at the plugs.

Cooling circuit pressure

The cooler is protected by means of a by-pass valve
calibrated to 5 bar. It is fitted in parallel at the level of
the distribution block.
- Connect a pressure gauge (max. 30 bar) to the
“PpAC” diagnostics connector (P1) (Fig. 4) located at
the front of the distribution block.
- Check that the maximum pressure of the
circuit: P1 = max. 10 bar.

Maximum steering circuit pressure

- Connect a T union between the steering ram and one
of the ram supply hoses.
- Connect a pressure gauge with a maximum capacity
of approximately 270 bar to the T union (Fig. 5).
- Start the engine.
- Turn the steering wheel to full lock.
- Check that the max. pressure P2 = 160 bar+/-10
Orbitol shock valve pressure

- Connect a T union between a steering ram supply
hose and the ram.
- On the T union, connect a hand calibrating pump
fitted with a 300 bar pressure gauge.
Fig. 5
- With the engine stopped, pump until the Orbitol
shock valve opens.
- Check that the max. pressure P3 = 225 - 245 bar.
Steering circuit leaks

- Run the engine at 1000 rpm.
- Turn the steering on full lock and apply a torque of
4 Nm to the axis of the steering wheel. The wheel
must not turn more than 2 rpm.
If the wheel turns more than 2 rpm, disconnect the
pipes that supply the rams, block the two ports and
then apply the same torque (4 Nm) to the steering
wheel. If it turns at less than 2 rpm, there is a leak at
the level of the ram.

C . High flow rate auxiliary hydraulic

circuit
Checking the maximum pump pressure
- Connect a pressure gauge with a capacity of approx-
imately 270 bar to the PpPPV (P4) pressure
connector located to the right of the distribution
block.
- Connect a flow meter to an auxiliary spool valve.
CAUTION: Ensure that supply and return pipes are
connected in the correct direction (Fig. 6) in order to
avoid damaging the flow meter.
- Start the engine.
- Activate the concerned spool valve in fully open posi-
tion.
- Close the flow meter valve until the maximum pres-
sure P4 = 200 +/-5 bar is reached.
Fig. 6

Checking the maximum pump flow rate

- Connect a pressure gauge to the PpPPV pressure
connector (P4) located to the right of the distribution
block (Fig. 6).
- As the flow rate per spool valve is limited to approx-
imately 95+/-5 l/min, connect a flow meter to two
auxiliary spool valves.
NOTE: Make a local assembly to connect two spool
valve supplies and two returns to the same flow
meter.
Ensure that suitable unions are used and that the
supplies and returns are connected in the correct direc-
tion.
- Activate the concerned auxiliary spool valves in fully
open position.
- Progressively close the flow meter valve, check the
P4 pressure and corresponding Q2 flow rate.

Checking the discharge pressure and XLS

pressure
Definition of pressures
• The discharge pressure (P4) is measured at the vari-
able displacement pump outlet.
• The XLS pressure (P5) is the pressure necessary to
activate the requested function.
• The standby pressure or regulating pressure allows
to maintain a constant differential pressure between
the discharge pressure and the XLS pressure.
• The standby pressure is measured on the pump
discharge pressure connector, with the engine
running and the high pressure functions at rest.
IMPORTANT: In order to avoid damage to the low
capacity pressure gauges used during these tests, do
not activate any high pressure components (auxiliary
spool valve, linkage, trailer brake).
Check
- Connect a pressure gauge with a capacity of approx-
imately 30 bar to the PpLS pressure connector (P5)
located to the left of the distribution block, then a
second pressure gauge with a capacity of approxi-
mately 30 bar to the PpPPV pressure connector (P4)
located to the right of the distribution block (Fig. 8).
- These diagnostics connectors are located on the
distribution block.
NOTE: The PpLS pressure connector (P5) is difficult to
access to. It may be necessary to make a union locally
for connecting the pressure gauge.
P4: Pump discharge pressure
P5: XLS line pressure
- Check P4 and P5. Fig. 8
Engine speed P4 P5
(rpm) (bar) (bar)
1000 22 4
2200 22 4
The P4 discharge pressure must be equal to the P5

XLS flow rate control pressure +18 +/-2 bar.
P4 = P5 + 18+/-2 bar
Note: The XLS pressure can be checked at the same

time as another high pressure function test. Checking
the XLS pressure on the P5 connector allows the Load
Sensing control line to be checked during action on a
high pressure function.
In this case, pressure gauges with a capacity of
approximately 270 bar must be used.

Maximum trailer braking pressure

- Connect a pressure gauge with a capacity of 270 bar
onto the trailer brake coupler (Fig. 9).
- Press down the dual brake pedals.
- Check the pressure reading:
P6 = 140 +/-5 bar at 1,000 rpm and at 2,000 rpm.
Maximum trailer brake flow rate

- Connect a pressure gauge between the trailer
braking coupler and the optional tank return union
(Fig. 10).
- Check that the flow meter load valve is fully open.
- With the engine running, fully press down on the
brake pedals.
Fig. 9
- Check that the maximum trailer brake flow rate
Q3 = 50 l/min.
Fig. 10

Checking the SMS management system of

electrohydraulic spool valves
The electrohydraulic spool valves are used to regulate
and store flow rates from the DOT MATRIX control
screen or from the DATATRONIC 3 (according to
option).
This function, along with the Kick out and floating posi-
tion functions, can be checked by connecting a flow
meter to the auxiliary spool valve and a pressure gauge
with a capacity of approximately 270 bar to the PpPPV
pump discharge pressure connector (P4) located to the
right of the distribution block.
The connection is identical to that used for checking
the pump Q2 flow rate (Fig. 11).
The connection allows different functions to be tested:
- Kick out
- floating position
- linkage / spool valve flow rate priority
Fig. 11

Checking lift control shock valve opening

pressure
- Stop the tractor engine.
- Connect a manual discharge pump to the unions of
the pipes supplying the lift rams (Fig. 12).
- Check that the pressure P7 = 225 bar
Checking the tank return line pressure

- Connect a pressure gauge to the PpT pressure
connector (P8) located on the front of the distribution
block (Fig. 13).
- Run the engine at 2200 rpm.
- Actuate one or more high pressure circuit compo-
nents (spool valve, linkage, brakes, etc.).
