KNOTT Gas Spring for Handbrake Lever KF-GF1 (990017.01) for Overrun Brakes KF13, KF20, KF27

Product detailed description

KNOTT Gas Spring for Handbrake Lever KF-GF1 (990017.01)

The KNOTT gas spring KF-GF1 (990017.01) is an original spare part designed for the handbrake lever of KNOTT overrun brake systems used on trailers with a gross vehicle weight of 1300 to 2700 kg. This component ensures the correct function of the trailer handbrake and safe braking when parking or leaving the trailer stationary.

The gas spring keeps the handbrake lever in the raised position, meaning the trailer remains braked. If a trailer secured with the handbrake moves backwards and the reverse mechanism (reverse automatic) is activated, the gas spring automatically pulls the handbrake lever back into a position where it overcomes the brake release caused by the reverse system.

This ensures that the trailer is safely braked again and prevents unintended movement. A properly functioning gas spring together with a correctly adjusted braking system helps ensure safe parking of the trailer even on slopes.

Compatibility

The gas spring is compatible with the following KNOTT overrun brakes:

• KNOTT overrun brake KF13

When should the gas spring be replaced?

Replacement of the gas spring is recommended if:

• the gas spring is mechanically damaged or no longer functions correctly
• the trailer handbrake does not hold reliably in the braked position
• the handbrake lever returns by itself
• the trailer moves even though the handbrake is applied

Regular inspection of the trailer braking system helps ensure safe operation and secure parking of the trailer.
