BRAKE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Description
This vehicle is equipped with a mechanically activated
rear drum brake system. The brake system consists of a
service brake and parking brake pedal, parking brake
release linkage, compensator assembly, equalizer link,
brake cables and self adjusting wheel brake assemblies
(Ref Fig. 1 on page K-1).
Although the brake system is similar to an automobile, it
is different in important ways. The system operates in
a very severe environment. Fertilizer, dust, grass clip-
pings, tree roots and other objects can cause corrosion
and physical damage to the brake components. Unlike
automotive hydraulic brakes, mechanical brakes depend
on the travel of the brake cables to move the brake
shoes against the brake drums. The travel of the brake
cables is governed by the brake pedal. If the cables can-
not travel far enough to absorb the slack (free travel) in
the system and still apply the shoes to the drums, the
braking effort at the wheel brake will not be adequate.
