Brake system Brake system
The dual circuit service brake system operated through the tandem
master cylinder is designed such that one circuit will continue to
provide braking action if the other circuit fails. This vehicle is fitted
with disc brakes at front and drum brakes at rear.
Stopping the vehicle after loss of the brake fluid in one circuit will
require more pedal pressure and pedal travel than normal. Also
stopping distance will be longer.
Service brakes are vacuum assisted. In case of failure of vacuum, the
vehicle can still be stooped, however with a higher effort.
