Stopping the Machine.
CD
Fully releasethe accelerator pedal.
eD
Apply the brake pedal or the brake and transmission
disconnect pedal until the machine comes to a complete
stop.
CAUTION: DO NOT "FAN" THE BRAKES
BY REPEATEDLY DEPRESSING AND RE-
LEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CAN
REDUCE THE AIR
PRESSURE TOO LOW FOR
BRAKING.

o
Shift the transmission into "N" (neutral).
NOTE: The transmission can remain in gear if the machine
hasbeen brought to a temporary stop.
CD
Apply the parking brake.
AUTOMATIC BRAKE APPLY SYSTEM
Air loss,in most cases,would be limited to one section of the
air brake system. Should the rear axle air system fail, the
front axle system will continue to meter air pressure. In the
event the front axle air section fails, controlling forces pass
through the treadle valve and will continue to provide
metered air pressure. Either one of these systems will
continue to operate as long as air pressureis above 50 psi in
the wet reservoir. Each service reservoir is protected by a
check valve between it and the air supply (wet tank).
•
As the term "automatic apply brake system" implies, the
parking/emergency disc brake will be applied automatically
under certain emergency conditions. These conditions are
describedbelow.
Working in conjunction with the "automatic apply brake
system" is an audible warning device (buzzer). Wheneverthe
air pressurein the wet air reservoir is 60 psi or less, t he buzzer
will sound,warning the operator of low air pressurein the wet
reservoir (and/or low air pressure in one, or both of the
service air reservoirs). This buzzer warning will give the
operator time to prepare for an involuntary stop.
