Brake System
Note: The brakes generate a high temperature when operating, this means that the casing will be hot to touch, this condition
is normal. Note aslo that 4WS machines do not have dual pedal braking.
FAULT
One or both brakes do not apply.
A
(Brake travel not excessive, brakes
not pulling to one side).
B
Pedal travel excessive (but not
touching floor).
C
Applying
one
brake
unlocked) also partially engages
the other brake.
D
Pedal hard to operate.
E
Pedals touch floor under constant
pressure - no fluid loss.
Pedals touch floor under constant
F
pressure - and fluid loss.
G
Pulling to one side when pedals
locked together.
