BRAKES
Service brakes
This vehicle is equipped with a dual braking
system, the front brakes being independent of the
rear brakes. Normally both systems are activated
by the single brake pedal. This brake system
becomes a modulated emergency system if a
pressure drop occurs in the rear brake system.
Service brakes are applied by depressing the
brake pedal, the rate of braking varying according
to the gradual increase of pressure until the
required rate of braking is obtained. When brake
pedal is depressed,
automatically light up.
For system information, see "BRAKES" on page
3-1.
Combination emergency and parking
brakes
The spring-loaded, manually operated parking
brake is activated by pulling up on the control
valve knob located on R.H. lateral console (see
item #2 on page 2-22).
This same brake system will automatically be
applied in an emergency situation, whenever the
control valve supply pressure drops below 40 psi
(275 kPa).
For system information, see "BRAKES" on page
3-1.

Controls engine rpm.
