BRAKE SYSTEM
The temporary handbrake is located near the
right-hand side door (when the cab conversion
is done by Labrie Equipment) and operates the
service braking system of the truck (Figure
#3.3). Always stop the unit using the foot
brake, then apply the temporary handbrake
(for short stops) or the parking brake system
(for longer stops) before leaving the unit. A
medium application of the foot brake is
normally sufficient to stop the truck. If the
brake is always used to full capacity, there will
be premature wear to the brake components
rear axle, and wheels. Therefore, only use the
brake to full capacity if the traffic conditions
require so.
