BRAKES
WARNING! Do no “pump” the brake. Each time the pedal is released the oil
pressure is reduced in the system resulting in reduction of braking efficiency in
case of loss of engine speed.
As required, there is possibility of braking as described above with the transmission connected or
disconnected. Braking with the transmission disconnected occurs with all clutches of the
transmission released. In such a case the full engine power may be used to operate the loader
hydraulics. Braking with the transmission disconnected is more efficient because the detrimental
effect of rotating masses on braking is eliminated. The braking method is selected with the selector
switch, see INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS.
WARNING! Do not use the braking method with the transmission disconnected
when traveling fast or downhill. Loss of control or damage to the power train
could result when the pedal is released and the transmission re-engages.
WARNING! Aerated brake fluid lines reduce braking efficiency. Take care to vent
the lines properly and efficiently.

REPLACING THE FILTER IN BRAKE COOLING SYSTEM
Replace filter element 2 of the brake cooling system located inside the rear frame on the right hand
side directly behind the transmission as shown in Fig. 5.12. When the gasket contacts the head
torque the filter to 40 to 50 Nm. The filter replacement should be made when replacing the
transmission and torque converter system filters.
