8.13 BRAKE SERVICE
The
brake
system
is
filled
with
MIL-H-5606
(petroleum
base)
hydraulic
brake
fluid.
The
fluid
level
should
be
checked
periodically
or
at
every
50-
hour
inspection
and
replenished
when
necessary.
The
brake
reservoir
is
located
on
the
fire
wall
in
the
engine
compartment.
If
the
entire
system
must
be
refilled,
fill
with
fluid
under
pressure
from
the
brake
end
of
the
system.
This
will
eliminate
air
from
the
system.
No
adjustment
of
the
brake
clearances
is
necessary.
If
after
extended
service
brake
blocks
become
excessively
worn,
they
should
be
replaced
with
new
segments.
