DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

If the servo should fail, both hydraulic circuits will still
function but would require greater pedal effort due to
the lack of vacuum assistance.

The hand operated parking brake acts on a brake
drum at the rear of the transfer gearbox and is
completely independent of the hydraulic circuits.

Brake pad wear sensors are incorporated in the front
and rear RH side inboard brake pads. The sensors
will illuminate a brake pad wear warning light in the
instrument binnacle, when pads require renewal.

CAUTION: Thoroughly clean all brake
calipers, pipes and fittings before
commencing work on any part of the brake

system. Failure to do so could cause foreign
matter to enter the system and cause damage to
seals and pistons which will seriously impair the
efficiency of the brake system.

To ensure the brake system efficiency is not
impaired the following warnings must be adhered
to :-

DO NOT use any petroleum (gasoline) based
cleaning fluids or any proprietary fluids
containing petroleum (gasoline) Use only the
correct brake fluid.

USE ONLY the correct brake fluid if assembly fluid
is required.

WARNING: Some components on the
vehicle such as gaskets and friction
surfaces (brake linings, clutch discs, or

automatic transmission brake bands), may
contain asbestos. inhaling asbestos dust is
dangerous to your health and the following
essential precautions must be observed:

•

Work out of doors or in a well ventilated area.
Wear a protective mask.

•

Dust found on vehicle or produced during
work on vehicle should be removed by
vacuuming or by using a well dampened
cloth and not by blowing.

•

Dust waste should be dampened, placed in a
sealed container and marked to ensure safe
disposal.

•

If any cutting, drilling etc, is attempted on
materials containing asbestos the item
should be dampened and only hand tools or
low speed power tools used.

DO NOT use brake fluid previously bled from the
system.

DO NOT use old or stored brake fluid.

ENSURE that only new fluid is used and that it is
taken from a sealed container.

DO NOT flush the brake system with any fluid
other than the recommended brake fluid.

The brake system should be drained and flushed
at the recommended service intervals.
