When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pis-
tons (two in front and four in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Three (or two) brake pipes are connected to the master cylin-
der and they make two independent circuits. One connects front brakes (right and left) and the other connects
rear brakes (right and left).
The load sensing proportioning valve (LSPV), the proportioning and bypass (P & B) valve or proportioning (P)
valve is included in these circuits between the master cylinder and the rear brake.
In this brake system, the disc brake type is used for the front wheel brake and a drum brake type (leading/trailing
shoes) for the rear wheel brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake shoes are used for both parking and foot brakes.
NOTE:
The figures shows left-hand steering vehicle.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The
torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
