CC18-180 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1 GENERAL
The CC18-180 is equipped with two independent hydraulic brake systems. One system
operates the brakes on the left main wheel and the other on the right. They are individually
activated by floor-mounted pedals, located at the pilot's and the co-pilot's heels.
Each system has a master cylinder that is attached to the co-pilot's brakes. The master
cylinders push hydraulic fluid to the calipers where two pistons are displaced and force the
brake linings against a disc. Because it is a closed system, changes in temperature, lining wear
or leaking fluid greatly affect the brake operation.
Each main wheel utilizes a Cleveland 30-60A single cylinder, dual piston caliper, secured by an
eight-hole backing plate. The parking brakes consist of two Scott 4500A1 valves with hand-
operated levers located under the pilot's seat. The parking brake valves are connected to the
master cylinders. To operate the parking brakes, both brake pedals must be pressed and both
valve levers moved aft.
For further information on the Cleveland Brakes, refer to the Cleveland Wheels & Brakes
Manual AWBCMM0001-10/USA.
