1. General. The oil-bathed, multiple-disc service brakes are hydraulically activated. Each tandem wheel end
contains a service brake unit. A brake wear indicator is easily accessible for checking brake wear. A
compensator maintains consistent brake performance.
2. Service Brakes. A foot pedal is used for engaging multiple disc brake assemblies for each wheel within the
tandem and spindle housings.
3. Parking Brakes. Multiple oil-bathed disc-type located in the transmission case. Electrically actuated by an
ON/OFF switch on the right side of the instrument panel, the parking brake is spring applied and hydraulically
released. The parking brake is integrated into the Operator Presence System to prevent unintended machine
movement while the operator is not in the cab seat.
4. Brake Accumulators. Two brake accumulators, located behind the cab, assist in applying the service brakes.
The accumulator remains charged even after the engine is shut down and provides limited braking ability.
