Gas Spring Brake Reservoir KNOTT GF for Trailers 3000–3500 kg, KNOTT 990029.01

Product detailed description

Gas Spring Brake Reservoir KNOTT GF (990029.01)

The KNOTT GF gas spring brake reservoir (990029.01) is an original spare part designed for the handbrake lever of KNOTT overrun brake systems used on trailers with a gross vehicle weight of 3000 to 3500 kg. This component ensures proper operation of the trailer handbrake and safe braking when parking or leaving the trailer stationary.

The gas spring reservoir 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 is activated, the gas spring reservoir 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 reservoir together with a correctly adjusted braking system helps ensure safe parking of the trailer even on slopes.

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

• KNOTT overrun brake KF30
• KNOTT overrun brake KFG35

When should the gas spring reservoir be replaced?

Replacement is recommended if:

• the reservoir is mechanically damaged or no longer functions correctly
• the trailer handbrake does not reliably hold in the braking 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.
