Retarding Performance
The brake performance retarding curves shown in this section
are for general guidance only. As each site has many unique
environmental and operating conditions that will impact
retarding performance, actual site performance could vary
considerably from predicted performance. Users should use
the retarding speed (gear) recommendations from these tables
as a starting point for determining retarding performance and
then adjust retarding speeds to their site-specific conditions.
In adjusting retarding performance to continuously changing
environmental and site-specific conditions, users need to
exercise care to maintain brake cooling and machine
controllability at all times.

2. Read from the appropriate gross weight down to percent

favorable effective grade. (For these retarding charts,
effective grade equals the maximum grade of all downhill
haul segments minus rolling resistance do not use an
average grade value.)
3. From the intersection of the gross weight and effective grade
line point, read horizontally to the appropriate gear curve.
If the horizontal line intersects two gear curves, choose the
first gear curve that the horizontal line intersects (reading
from right to left) and read the retarding speed performance
immediately below this point. If the intersection point falls
on a vertical line between two gears, choose the lowest of the
two gears to allow for higher engine rpm thus maximizing
brake cooling capability.

To determine brake retarding performance from retarding tables:

1. Determine the total distance of all downhill grades combined
for a given haul profile. This total distance determines the
appropriate retarding table (continuous or one of the grade
distance tables) applicable to your haul profile.

4. Adjust recommended retarding speeds to site specific

(environmental and operational) conditions. If the brake
system overheats or specific site conditions dictate (tight
turns, short steep grades, manual braking, etc.), reduce
ground speed to allow the transmission to shift to the next
lower speed range.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance,
read from gross weight down to the
percent of total resistance. Total
resistance equals actual percent grade
plus one percent for each 10 kg/tonne
(20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From
this weight-resistance point, read
horizontally to the curve with the
highest obtainable gear, then down to
maximum speed. Usable rimpull will
depend upon traction available and
weight on drive wheels.
