2. PARKING BRAKE

• There are two systems for parking brake, one is the gear lock brake system and the other one is parking brake

system. They are independent of the travelling brake system each other.

• While the machine is parked with the engine off, the hydraulic 4WD clutch is kept disengaged. But the clutch disc

is held pressed by the spring, which means that the 4WD mechanism is still on. When the parking brake is applied,

therefore, all the four wheels are put on brakes to provide for greater braking effect. (Refer to the "5. POWER

TRAIN FOR 4WD" at "3. TRANSMISSION" section.)

The parking brake is gear lock type.

Parking brake lever (10) and parking lever (1) are connected with cable. When the parking brake lever (10) is in

"ON" position (a), the parking lever (1) pushes down the parking lever cam (2).

The parking collar pushes the parking brake gear lever (4) to engage and lock the parking brake gear (6) on the

counter shaft (7).

When the parking brake lever (10) is in "OFF" position (b), parking brake gear lever (4), parking lever cam (2) and

parking lever (1) are returned by return springs (3), (5) and (9).
