BRAKE CIRCUIT CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
The brake circuit hydraulic pressure is supplied from
the steering circuit at the bleed down manifold.
Some brake system problems, such as spongy
brakes, slow brake release, or abnormal operation
of the overhead panel mounted "Low Brake Pres-
sure" warning light can sometimes be traced to
internal leakage of brake components. If internal
leakage is suspected, refer to Brake Circuit Compo-
nent Leakage Test.
NOTE: If internal leakage within the steering circuit
is excessive, this also may contribute to problems
within the brake circuit. Be certain that steering
circuit leakage is not excessive before
troubleshooting brake circuit. For Steering Circuit
Test Procedure, refer to Section "L", Hydraulic
System.
