Maintenance
b Brakes
Brake Arrangement
The machines use axles with oil immersed totally enclosed
multi-plate brakes. The dumpers have braking on both front and
rear axles, see Specifications section.
The brake system is charged with mineral oil, NOT BRAKE
FLUID, via a fluid reservoir (B) which is remote from the brake
master cylinder. For correct mineral oil refer to Lubrication
Schedule on page 9-28.
Brake Maintenance
Normally adjustment of the brakes is unnecessary due to the
automatic compensation which is built into the brake design,
but bleeding of the system may be necessary on occasions if
pipe work is damaged causing system leakage.
Brake Fluid - Checking Level
The master cylinder reservoir is located under the seat support,
to the rear of the accelerator pedal.
• To access reservoir (B) remove cover plate (C) by removing
bolt (D) and lifting the cover plate away from seat support.
• Thoroughly clean the area around reservoir filler cap (A).
• If the fluid is not level with the base of the filler neck,
unscrew reservoir cap (A) and fill as necessary.
• Replace the filler cap (A) and the cover plate (C).
b
Under NO circumstances allow conventional BRAKE
FLUID to be added to the system and NEVER purge the
system and refill with brake fluid, otherwise damage will
occur to all rubber sealing components in the brake
system. Refer to Lubrication Section.
b
Brakes on the machines provide means of effective
braking with minimum maintenance. But it is vital during
machine maintenance that the general condition of
system. i.e. pipe work, pedal operation, fluid level and
general oil tightness is checked and deficiencies
corrected immediately.
Failure to do so Could Result in Brake Failure
b
Only use MINERAL OIL
