control valve for right pedal. (33) Wheel brakes (four).
All of the wheel brakes in the brake system are caliper/disc brakes. There are brakes at all four wheels
(wheel brakes) and one separate brake (secondary and parking brake) on the front drive shaft. Secondary and
parking brake (8) is a shoe-type brake. It is applied (activated) by spring and released by air from brake
chamber (9). Wheel brakes (33) are activated by brake fluid but the brake fluid is activated by air.
The wheel brakes are controlled by two pedals in the operator's station. When the right pedal is pushed, only
the wheel brakes are activated. When the left pedal is pushed, the transmission is first disengaged (not
engaged) and then, the wheel brakes are activated. Full engine power can be used in the hydraulic system
when the transmission is disengaged. When the left pedal is released, the transmission engages before the
wheel brakes are released. This action keeps the machine from free movement (rolling) when the machine is
on a slope.
The secondary and parking brake is controlled manually by the knob directly under the steering wheel. The
brake will operate automatically if the air pressure in the system drops below 280 kPa (40 psi).
The brake system is divided into four different circuits: air supply for the air system, air circuit for the
secondary and parking brake, air circuit for the wheel brakes and hydraulic circuit for the wheel brakes. The
brake system is separated into these four parts to make its explanation easier.
The air supply provides air under pressure to operate the brake system. Air compressor (2), governor (5) and
air reservoir (3) and its valves make up the air supply.
The air circuit for the secondary and parking brake provides protection for the machine if there is a failure in
the air system. Secondary and parking brake (8) and its brake chamber (9), air pressure switch (28) and
control valve (1) are components of this circuit.
The air circuit for the wheel brakes provides air to operate the air horn and to activate the hydraulic circuit
for the wheel brakes. The components of the air circuit for the wheel brakes are: horn valve (11), air horn
(10), air pressure switch (20) for wheel brakes, left pedal (15) and its brake control valve (14), right pedal
(25) and its brake control valve (32), orifice check valve (16), double check valve (22), air pressure switch
(24) for stop lights, and two air cylinders [part of air/hydraulic cylinders (18) and (21)].
The hydraulic circuit for the wheel brakes engages the wheel brakes when the air circuit causes brake fluid
pressure in the hydraulic circuit. The components of the hydraulic circuit are: two master cylinders [part of
air/hydraulic cylinders (18) and (21)], two brake fluid reservoirs (29) and (31), brake fluid pressure
(overstroke) switches (26) for wheel brakes, and four wheel brakes (33).
Warning System
1. The warning system is activated with the disconnect switch and the key start switch in the "ON" position.
2. All references to the fault alarm are good only if the engine is running.
Master Fault Light

(1) Light.
Loss of brake air pressure will cause both the brake air pressure indicator (4) and the master fault light (1) to
FLASH. The fault alarm will sound (if the engine is running). The secondary/parking brake will
automatically engage.
When the secondary/parking brake is engaged, the parking brake indicator (3) will FLASH. If the
transmission is engaged, the master fault light (1) will FLASH. If the engine is running, the fault alarm will
also sound.
Too much master cylinder stroke (loss of hydraulic pressure) in the front or rear hydraulic circuit will cause
brake fluid pressure indicator (2) and master fault light (1) to FLASH and the fault alarm will sound (if the
engine is running).
Warning Indicators
(2) Brake fluid pressure indicator. (3) Parking brake indicator. (4) Brake air pressure indicator.
Air Supply For The Air System
Air Supply
(1) Air compressor. (2) Reservoir. (3) Check valve. (4) Governor. (5) Relief valve. (6) Drain valve. (7) Line to secondary/parking
brake valve. (8) Line to horn valve. (9) Left brake control valve. (10) Air pressure switch. (11) Line to right control valve.
The components of the air supply are a compressor, governor, relief valve, reservoir and check valve.
Air compressor (1) provides air pressure for the parking brake and wheel brake air circuits. Governor (4)
controls the pressure for operation of the air system.
Relief valve (5) controls the maximum pressure in the air system. Reservoir (2) is used for storage of air
pressure and for collection of water in the air system.
Check valve (3) prevents the leakage of air pressure back to the air compressor.
Air Compressor And Governor

Air compressor (1), is driven by the accessory drive gear of the engine. Clean air comes into the air
compressor from the intake manifold of the engine. The compressor gets coolant and lubrication from the
engine cooling and lubrication systems.
As seen from the flywheel end of the engine, the air compressor is fastened to the left side of the front timing
gear housing.
Air compressor governor (2) is fastened to a bracket near the air compressor. The governor controls the
amount of pressure in the air system and keeps the pressure in a limited range. Cutout pressure of the
governor is approximately 655 kPa (95 psi). Cut-in pressure of the governor is 518 min kPa (75 min psi).
Location Of The Air Compressor

(1) Air compressor. (2) Governor.
NOTE: For more information on the air compressor, see AIR COMPRESSORS, Form No. REG00914-03.
Air Reservoir
Air reservoir (3) is fastened to the rear of the engine end frame under the radiator. Protection of the reservoir
is provided by the crankcase guard.
Location Of Air Reservoir

(1) Line from governor. (2) Relief valve. (3) Reservoir. (4) Inlet from air compressor. (5) Check valve. (6) Drain valve. (7) Outlet
from reservoir (3).
The air reservoir has drain valve (6), relief valve (2) and check valve (5) fastened to it.
Water can be drained from the air reservoir when drain valve (6) is opened. This keeps the water out of the
other components of the air system.
Air Relief Valve

The air relief valve is fastened to the reservoir. If the governor does not operate correctly, the relief valve will
open at approximately 1030 kPa (150 psi) to prevent damage to the air system. The setting of the relief valve
can not be adjusted.
Check Valve
The one-way check valve in the system is used to stop the reverse flow of air from the air reservoir. The
check valve is fastened to the air reservoir.
Air from the air compressor will put spring (3) in compression and valve (2) will open. This permits air to
flow into the reservoir.
When the air pressure in the reservoir and the force of spring (3) is more than the air pressure from the
compressor, valve (2) will move against seat (1). Air can not go from the reservoir to the air compressor.
Components Of The Check Valve

(1) Seat. (2) Valve. (3) Spring.
Air Circuit For The Secondary And Parking Brake
Air Circuit For The Secondary And Parking Brake

(1) Brake chamber for secondary and parking brake. (2) Line from left brake control valve. (3) Secondary and parking brake. (4)
Control valve for secondary and parking brake. (5) Fault alarm. (6) Parking brake indicator. (7) Air pressure switch for parking brake.
The components of the air circuit for the secondary and parking brake are a control valve, an air pressure
switch and a brake chamber.
Air pressure (from the supply port on the left brake control valve) goes to control valve (4), which controls
the operation of brake chamber (1). When air pressure is sent to the brake chamber, secondary and parking
brake (3) is disengaged (released). When air pressure to the brake chamber is released, a spring in the brake
chamber engages (activates) the secondary and parking brake. The air is released at the control valve (4).
Switch (7) activates the warning system in the operator's station when the parking brake control knob is in
the ON position (air released).
The secondary and parking brake provides a secondary method to stop the machine, when the machine is in
operation. It is also used as a parking brake when the machine is not in operation. Brake (3) is activated
automatically when the air pressure decreases below 280 kPa (40 psi).
Control Valve For The Secondary And Parking Brake

Control valve (1) for the secondary and parking brake is fastened to the lower end of the steering column.
The valve is activated either manually or automatically. The valve is controlled manually by a cable
assembly that is connected to knob (2) on the upper end of the steering column. The valve is activated
automatically when pressure in the air system is too low.
Location Of The Control Valve

(1) Control valve.
When the machine is started, the air reservoir will be discharged. The control valve will be in the ON
position (pulled out). Valve (9) will be against valve body (4). The air from inlet port (6) can not go through
outlet port (7) or exhaust port (11). The air pressure in the reservoir will go up to the correct pressure for
operation.
Location Of The Control Knob

(2) Knob.
When the brake air pressure indicator goes off and the fault alarm stops (operating pressure is reached), the
operator must push in and hold knob (2) (move knob to OFF position) to release the parking brake.
Components Of The Control Valve

(3) Plunger. (4) Valve body. (5) Spring. (6) Inlet port from air reservoir. (7) Outlet port to secondary and parking brake. (8) Orifice. (9)
Valve. (10) Cover. (11) Exhaust port to open air.
If the knob moves back out immediately after it is pushed in, the
pressure in the air system is not enough to release the parking brake. Do
not move the machine until the air pressure is at the correct pressure
for operation. Operation of the machine with the parking brake
engaged will destroy the brake and cause a fire.
With knob (2) pushed in, air from the reservoir goes through orifice (8) and outlet port (7) to the parking
brake. The pressure in port (7) will hold valve (9) against cover (10) which closes exhaust port (11). The
parking brake is now released.
When knob (2) is pulled out again, the pressure in outlet port (7) will release through exhaust port (11). The
parking brake is again activated.
The control valve for the secondary/parking brake will activate automatically when the pressure of the air
system goes below approximately 280 kPa (40 psi). At this pressure, spring (5) moves valve (9) in an up
position against valve body (4) and the parking brake is activated.
Air Pressure Switch For Secondary And Parking Brake
Location Of The Air Pressure Switch

(1) Switch. (2) Transfer case.
Air pressure switch (1) is activated when the air pressure to the parking brake gets below approximately 448
kPa (65 psi).
Switch (1) is connected to a tee located at the top front of transfer case (2).
Brake Chamber For Secondary And Parking Brake

Brake chamber (6) releases (disengages) and activates (engages) the secondary and parking brake. Brake
chamber rod (4) is connected to rod end (7). Rod end (7) is connected to lever (8) which moves the shoes in
the brake. When there is no pressure from the control valve for the secondary and parking brake, there is no
air pressure in air chamber (2). Spring (1) forces piston (3) to the right and keeps the secondary and parking
brake engaged.
Brake Chamber in Released Position

(1) Spring. (2) Air chamber. (3) Piston. (4) Brake chamber rod. (5) Air inlet.

Location Of Brake Chamber (View From Right Side)

(5) Air inlet. (6) Brake chamber. (7) Rod end. (8) Lever (not shown). (9) Drive shaft.
The brake stays activated until the air system pressure reaches at least 380 kPa (55 psi) and the parking and
secondary brake control valve is moved to the OFF position (knob is pushed in). The valve will not remain in
the OFF position unless supply pressure is greater than 380 kPa (55 psi). At this time, air pressure goes to air
chamber (2) and pushes piston (3) to the left. Rod (4) and rod end (7) move lever (8) which releases the
secondary and parking brake.
When air pressure decreases to approximately 280 kPa (40 psi), the parking and secondary brake control
valve closes automatically (moves to the ON position) and stops the flow of air to air chamber (2). Spring (1)
is no longer in compression and pushes rod (4) out and the brake is activated (secondary brakes).
This same operation takes place when the parking and secondary brake control valve is manually moved to
the ON position (pulled out). This activates the brake for parking.
Secondary And Parking Brake

The secondary and parking brake is mounted on the forward side of the transmission output transfer gear
drive group (3). The brake drum (4) is fastened to a yoke on the output shaft of the transfer gear group. The
brake is a shoe-type brake that is engaged and released by brake chamber (1).
Plate assembly (2) is fastened to the bearing cage for the output shaft. The plate assembly holds shoes (5)
and the remainder of the brake components in position.
When the secondary and parking brake control knob is in the OFF position, camshaft lever (10) is in the
position shown. Brake shoes (5) are not contacting drum (4). They are pulled toward cam (6) by springs (7).

Yoke. (10) Lever.
When the control knob is moved to the ON position, air pressure is released from air chamber (1). The spring
in the air chamber forces threaded rod (8) and yoke (9) outward from the chamber. This causes camshaft
lever (10) to rotate counterclockwise. The cams contact shoes (5) and cause them to expand outward against
drum (4). The brake is now engaged.
Brake shoe to drum clearance adjustment to compensate for brake shoe wear is accomplished by moving
yoke (9) on threaded rod (8) of the air chamber.

Air Circuit For The Wheel Brakes
Air Circuit For The Wheel Brakes

(1) Air horn. (2) Horn valve. (3) Line to control valve for secondary and parking brake. (4) Line to transmission neutralizer valve. (5)
Line from air reservoir. (6) Brake control valve (left pedal). (7) Brake air pressure indicator. (8) Air pressure switch for wheel brakes.
(9) Orifice check valve. (10) Fault Alarm. (11) Air pressure switch for stop lights. (12) Double check valve. (13) Brake fluid pressure
(overstroke) switches. (14) Breathers. (15) Air/hydraulic cylinders (two). (16) Oil lines to wheel brakes (two). (17) Brake control
valve (right pedal).
The air circuit for the wheel brakes sends air under pressure from the air reservoir to operate the air/hydraulic
cylinders and the air horn.
Switch (8) activates the warning system in the operator's station when air pressure in the system is too low.
Horn valve (2) activates air horn (1).
When brake control valve (6) is activated, the transmission neutralizer valve is activated, which disengages
the transmission and engages the wheel brakes. The surface area of the neutralizer valve is smaller than the
surface area of the air cylinder piston.
This difference in area causes the transmission to disengage before the wheel brakes are engaged.
NOTE: For more information on the transmission neutralizer valve, see 936 AND 936E WHEEL
LOADERS POWER TRAIN SYSTEMS OPERATION, TESTING AND ADJUSTING, FORM SENR2908.
When control valve (6) is released, orifice check valve (9) causes a restriction to the flow of air from air
cylinders to brake control valve (6). This permits the transmission to engage before the brakes are released.
Air pressure from the orifice check valve goes to double check valve (12). Valve (12) lets air go to the air
cylinders and will not let air go to control valve (17). When control valve (17) is activated, valve (12) lets air
go to the air cylinders and will not let air go to valve (9).
Brake control valve (17) activates the wheel brakes only. When either control valve (6) or (17) is activated,
stop light switch (11) activates the stop lights at the rear of the machine.
Air/hydraulic cylinders (15) have two pistons each, one for air (air cylinder) and one for brake fluid (master
cylinder). Movement of the air cylinder is caused by air pressure. This movement also causes the master
cylinder to move and the wheel brakes are activated. The master cylinder is part of the hydraulic circuit for
the wheel brakes.
Air Pressure Switch For Wheel Brakes
Location Of The Air Pressure Switch

(1) Switch. (2) Left brake control valve.
Air pressure switch (1) is activated when the air pressure in the brake system gets below approximately 448
kPa (65 psi). The switch causes both the brake air pressure indicator and the master fault light in the dash to
FLASH. If the engine is running, the fault alarm will sound.
Switch (1) is under the floor of the operator's station. It is fastened to the left brake control valve.
Brake Control Valves

There are two brake control valves. Each valve is fastened directly under a pedal that is operated by the
operator's left and right feet.
Location Of The Brake Pedals

(1) Left pedal. (2) Right pedal.
When left pedal (1) is pushed, air goes in two directions. It goes to the transmission neutralizer valve and
causes the transmission to disengage. It also goes through orifice check valve (5), double check valve (6) and
on to the air cylinders to engage the wheel brakes.
Location Of Brake Control Valves

(3) Brake control valve for left pedal (not shown). (4) Brake control valve for right pedal. (5) Orifice check valve. (6) Double check
valve.
When right pedal (2) is pushed, air goes through double check valve (6) and directly to the air cylinders.
Operation
Brake Control Valve (Brakes Activated)

(7) Seat. (8) Rubber spring. (9) Piston. (10) Retainer. (11) Outlet passage. (12) Spring. (13) Valve. (14) Valve body. (15) Spring. (16)
Exhaust passage. (17) Inlet passage. (18) Exhaust diaphragm.
When a brake pedal is pushed, a force is put on seat (7). This force pushes rubber spring (8) and piston (9)
down. Piston (9) comes in contact with valve (13) and closes exhaust passage (16). Further movement of the
pedal causes piston (9) to move valve (13) down, away from its seat in valve body (14). Pressure air is now
free to go from inlet passage (17) to outlet passage (11).
When the force of springs (12) and (15) plus air pressure on piston (9) becomes more than the operator's
pedal force, piston (9) compresses spring (8) enough to let valve (13) come in contact with valve body (14)
again. This stops the flow of air through outlet passage (11). Piston (9) is still against valve (13), so exhaust
passage (16) is closed. The control valve is now in balance and air pressure is held in the system.
If the pedal is lifted a small amount, the force above piston (9) is less. The force of spring (12) will lift the
piston off of valve (13). Pressure air in the system goes around piston (9) through exhaust passage (16) and
out exhaust diaphragm (18) until the forces above and below piston (9) are in balance.
When the pedal is completely released, piston (9) moves off of valve (13). This completely releases all
pressure in the system. Valve (13) is held against valve body (14) by spring (15).
Brake Control Valve (Brakes Released)

(7) Seat. (8) Rubber spring. (9) Piston. (10) Retainer. (11) Outlet passage. (12) Spring. (13) Valve. (14) Valve body. (15) Spring. (16)
Exhaust passage. (17) Inlet passage. (18) Exhaust diaphragm.
The operation of valves (3) and (4) is the same. In valve (4), outlet passage (11) goes to the air cylinders
only. In valve (3), outlet passage (11) goes to the air cylinders and the transmission neutralizer valve.
Air Horn And Valve
Location Of Horn Button

(1) Button.
Air horn (3) is activated by horn valve (2). The horn valve is activated (foot-operated) by horn button (1).
The air horn is located in the left frame, behind the ladder. Horn valve (2) is fastened directly under the floor
of the operator's station.

Operation
Components Of The Horn Valve

(1) Button. (4) Valve body. (5) Stem. (6) Outlet. (7) Valve. (8) Spring seat. (9) Spring. (10) Inlet. (11) Valve body.
When button (1) is pushed, stem (5) pushes valve (7) against the force of spring (9). This lets air pressure
from inlet passage (10) go to outlet passage (6) and to air horn (3).
When button (1) is released, spring (9) moves valve (7) back to its seat in valve body (11). This stops the
flow of air to outlet passage (6). The horn is OFF. Spring seat (8) holds spring (9) in the correct position.
Orifice Check Valve

The orifice check valve is fastened directly to an elbow that is connected to the double check valve on the
brake control valve for the right pedal.
When the brake control valve for the left pedal is activated, air pressure moves disc (2) to the right against
the force of spring (3). Air is permitted to flow freely through notches on the outside diameter of disc (2).
Some air will also go through the orifice. This flow of air is to the air cylinders.
When the left pedal is released, the orifice causes a restriction to the flow of air from the air cylinders to the
brake control valve. This permits the transmission to engage before the brakes are released.
Components Of The Orifice Check Valve

(1) Seat. (2) Disc. (3) Spring.
Double Check Valve

The double check valve is fastened directly to the brake control valve for the right pedal. Inlet passage (4) is
connected to the brake control valve. An elbow, from the orifice check valve, is installed in inlet passage (3).
Shuttle (2) prevents the flow of air from the right brake control valve, when the left brake control valve is
activated. When the right control valve is activated, shuttle (2) prevents the flow of air to the left control
valve, which would permit the transmission to disengage.
Double Check Valve

(1) Plug. (2) Shuttle. (3) Inlet passage from left control valve. (4) Inlet passage from right control valve. (5) Outlet to air cylinders.
Shuttle (2) moves when inlet pressures are different. The shuttle opens the inlet passage with the higher
pressure, and closes the inlet passage with the lower pressure. Air then goes through outlet passage (5) to the
air cylinders.
Air Pressure Switch For Stop Lights

Air pressure switch (1) is activated when the air pressure in the line to the air cylinders gets above
approximately 33 kPa (4.8 psi) for earlier type switch and 45 kPa (6.5 psi) for later type switch. When switch
(1) is activated, it causes the stop lights at the rear of the machine to come ON.
Switch (1) is under the floor of the operator's station. It is fastened near the right brake control valve.
Location Of Air Pressure Switch

(1) Switch.
Air Cylinders
Rear Of Engine
(1) Air cylinder for rear wheel brakes. (2) Master cylinder for rear wheel brakes. (3) Air cylinder for front wheel brakes. (4) Master
cylinder for front wheel brakes (general location). (5) Brake fluid pressure (overstroke) switches.
The two air cylinders are part of the air/hydraulic cylinders. Air cylinders (1) and (3) are under the hood at
the rear of the engine.
The air cylinder changes the energy of air under pressure into force and movement needed for brake
application. The ratio of air pressure to brake fluid pressure is 1 to 16. [If the pressure at air inlet (10) is 70
kPa (10 psi), the pressure in the master cylinder (11) is 1100 kPa (160 psi).]

(5) Brake fluid pressure (overstroke) switch. (6) Piston. (7) Rod. (8) Spring. (9) Indicator rod. (10) Air inlet. (11) Master cylinder.
When a brake pedal is pushed down, air under pressure goes from the brake control valve to inlet (10) of the
air cylinder and pushes on piston (6). Piston (6) pushes on rod (7), which pushes on a piston in master
cylinder (11). The end of rod (7) is held by the piston in the master cylinder.
Air Cylinder (With Brakes Released)

(5) Brake fluid pressure (overstroke) switch. (6) Piston. (7) Rod. (8) Spring. (9) Indicator rod. (10) Air inlet. (11) Master cylinder.
When the brakes are released, spring (8) returns the piston, rod and master cylinder piston to their original
positions.
If piston (6) comes in contact with indicator rod (9), rod (9) will move and open switch (5). This will cause
the EMS brake fluid pressure indicator to FLASH. If this does happen, there is a problem in the hydraulic
circuit for the wheel brakes. See the Testing and Adjusting section on HOT OR DRAGGING BRAKES.
After piston (6) comes in contact with indicator rod (9), the rod must be manually pushed back into the air
cylinder to its original position.
Hydraulic Circuit For The Wheel Brakes
Hydraulic Circuit
(1) Air/hydraulic cylinders (two). (2) Brake fluid pressure (overstroke) switches (two). (3) Air lines (two) from double check valve.
(4) Brake fluid reservoirs (two). (5) Breathers (two). (6) Brake fluid pressure indicator. (7) Fault alarm. (8) Wheel brakes (four).
The hydraulic circuit is divided into two separate circuits, one for the front wheel brakes and one for the rear
wheel brakes. Each circuit has a reservoir, an air/hydraulic cylinder and two wheel brakes.
Air/hydraulic cylinders (1) have two pistons each, one for air (air cylinder) and one for brake fluid (master
cylinder). The air cylinders are part of the air circuit for the wheel brakes. Air pressure in the air cylinders
moves the piston in the master cylinders, which causes the compression of the brake fluid in the hydraulic
circuit and activates the brakes.
Reservoirs (4) provide extra brake fluid for the master cylinders.
Wheel brakes (8) are at all four wheels. They are used to stop the movement of the machine during normal
operation.
Brake fluid pressure (overstroke) switches (2) activate brake fluid pressure indicator (6) when there is too
much travel (stroke) in the master cylinder.
NOTE: All parts in the hydraulic circuit are for use with DOT 3 (SAE J1703F) brake fluid only.
Brake Fluid Reservoirs

Reservoirs (1) and (2) are under the hood at the rear of the engine, and are the brake fluid supply for the
hydraulic circuit of the wheel brakes. Any extra brake fluid needed to activate the wheel brakes comes from
the reservoirs.
Reservoir (1) provides brake fluid for the rear brakes and reservoir (2) provides brake fluid for the front
brakes. When the brakes are released, the pressure in the lines is released to the reservoirs.
Location Of Brake Fluid Reservoirs

(1) Reservoir for rear wheel brakes. (2) Reservoir for front wheel brakes.
Master Cylinders
Rear Of Engine
(1) Air cylinder for rear wheel brakes. (2) Master cylinder for rear wheel brakes. (3) Air cylinder for front wheel brakes. (4) Master
cylinder for front wheel brakes (general location). (5) Brake fluid pressure (overstroke) switches.
The two master cylinders are part of the air/hydraulic cylinders. Master cylinders (2) and (4) are under the
hood at the rear of the engine.
Each master cylinder sends brake fluid to the wheel brakes on one axle. The brake fluid pressure in the
master cylinder is 16 times the amount of air pressure in the air cylinder. Master cylinder (2) sends brake
fluid to the rear axle and master cylinder (4) sends brake fluid to the front axle.

piston. (15) Valve insert. (16) Passage. (17) Cylinder. (18) Fluid outlet.
Air pressure from the air circuit for the wheel brakes goes through air inlet (11) and moves piston (12) and
rod (13) to the right. Rod (13) pushes on valve (9) and valve insert (15). Valve insert (15) closes makeup
fluid inlet (8). More movement of rod (13) pushes power piston (14). The power piston pushes brake fluid in
cylinder (17) through fluid outlet (18) and through the lines to the wheel cylinders. This activates (engages)
the wheel brakes.
Master Cylinder (With Brakes Released)

(6) Air cylinder. (7) Spring. (8) Makeup fluid inlet. (9) Valve. (10) Bleeder screw. (11) Air inlet. (12) Piston. (13) Rod. (14) Power
piston. (15) Valve insert. (16) Passage. (17) Cylinder. (18) Fluid outlet.
When the air pressure decreases at air inlet (11), spring (7) in air cylinder (6) moves rod (13) and piston (12)
to the left. This also causes power piston (14) to move to the left. Makeup fluid from brake fluid reservoirs is
at the left side of power piston (14). When the brakes are released, rod (13) and piston (12) go back (return)
to their original positions. At this time, if makeup fluid is needed in cylinder (17) it comes through makeup
fluid inlet (8). This makeup fluid goes around the flat sides of valve (9) and around valve insert (15), through
passage (16) in power piston (14) into cylinder (17). The operation of valve (9) and valve insert (15) does not
permit the hydraulic circuit to have a vacuum.
Bleeder screw (10) is used to remove any air inside the master cylinder [cylinder (17)].
Wheel Brakes
Wheel Brake
(1) Head assembly. (2) Bleeder screw. (3) Piston seal. (4) Pistons (six). (5) Friction linings (two). (6) Metal backings (two). (7) Bolt
(that holds anchor pin in place). (8) Anchor pins (two). (9) Disc. (10) Passage.
Fluid activated caliper/disc brakes are at all four wheels. Head assembly (1) is fastened to the axle flange and
does not turn with the wheels. The head assembly has six pistons (4), three on each side of the disc, and a
friction lining (5) on each side of the disc. Each lining is fastened to a metal backing (6). Linings (5) and
backings (6) are held in place by anchor pins (8). When the brakes are activated, oil pushes pistons (4) and
linings (5) against these discs.
NOTICE
Do not activate brakes when the linings are removed or pistons (4) and
seals (3) will be damaged.
Fluid goes through passages between the bores of pistons (4). Fluid then goes between bores that are
opposite each other through passage (10) inside head assembly (1).
When the brakes are activated, the hydraulic (brake fluid) pressure moves all pistons (4) and the amount of
force on each side of discs (9) is the same. The pistons do not have springs for return.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove head assembly (1) to remove linings (5) and metal backings (6).
Remove bolts (7) and anchor pins (8). Remove the linings and metal backings.
Right Front Wheel Brake

(1) Head assembly. (2) Bleeder screws. (6) Metal backing. (7) Bolt. (8) Anchor pin. (9) Disc.
NOTICE
Do not activate the brakes with linings (5) removed. Pistons (4) must
not come out of their bores when the linings are removed. Open
bleeder screws (2) to release any pressure behind the pistons. If the
pistons become extended and the seals can be seen, removal of the head
assembly is necessary to install the pistons again.
