3.
manually actuated by forward movement of red lever on transmission control console. Lever engages parking brake and
activates transmission neutral lock to prevent machine movement. Brake is spring engaged and air disengaged. Brake
can be used for emergency stopping if air supply fails.
Emergency Braking. Dual air system provides separate circuit at each tandem for safety. Malfunction of one circuit
4.
leaves remaining circuit with at least half of original braking capacity.
Blade Centershift Lock Pin. Though not part of the air brake system, the centershift lock pin is mentioned here
5.
because it also is operated by the air supply from the air brake system. The centershift lock pin is part of the blade sys-
tem. Refer to Blade System in this work package for its location.
