bracket. The service brake pedal is held in the applied
(down) position by the catch bracket. The latch arm is
held in position by the tension in the brake linkage. The
Parking Brake can be released by two methods:
1. Depressing the service brake, which permits the
spring loaded Parking Brake pedal to return to its
original position, disengaging the latch arm from the
catch bracket. This is the preferred method which
minimizes wear on components.
2. Pressing the accelerator pedal rotates the kick-off
cam which forces the pedal latch arm to move away
from the catch bracket. The spring loaded Parking
Brake pedal returns to its original position, releasing
the brake.
Compensator Assembly
The compensator assembly contains a spring, which is
compressed until the stop tube within the spring is
engaged and the linkage becomes solid (Ref Fig. 4 on
page K-3). The brake compensator assembly applies a
spring load to the parking brake system and insures that
the parking brake remains under tension whenever it is
engaged.
Kick-Off Actuating Linkage
The kick-off actuating linkage may require periodic
adjustment to compensate for the normal wear. Replace-
ment of any linkage components will also require an
adjustment.
