BRAKES
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death, always evaluate pedal travel before
operating a vehicle to verify some braking func-
tion is present.
All driving brake tests must be done in a
safe location with regard for the safety of all
personnel.
Over time, a subtle loss of performance may take place; there-
fore, it is important to establish the standard with a new vehicle.
The Periodic Brake Performance Test should be pe r-
formed regularly as an evaluation of braking system per-
formance. It is useful as a method of identifying subtle
loss of performance over time.
