ABOUT THIS SECTION:
This section covers brake service and adjustments on
the "poly bed" Utility Vehicle 4 X 2 Model 414
(37AN414J710).

MAINTNANCE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE
BRAKE SYSTEM:
1.1.
It is important that the brakes on the Big Country
vehicle be properly maintained in order for it to
operate safely and dependably. The condition
and operation of the brake system should be
checked on a regular basis:
•
A visual inspection of the cables and linkages
should be made, and operational test performed
every 50 hours of operation.
•
A complete inspection of the brake system
(including drums and shoes) should be made
every 500 hours or 24 months of operation.
•
The initial 50 hour inspection and subsequent
500 hour inspections coincide with the transaxle
fluid change intervals.
•
Any brake service needs (repair or adjustment)
should be made before the vehicle is returned to
service.
1.2.
The brake pedal arm lifts up on the pull bolt that
transmits force to the equalizer bracket. The
equalizer bracket distributes the brake pedal
force between the cores of two cables.
See Figure 1.2.
