2.2 Brake System
2.2.1 General
The Brake System must be fully functional when
the vehicle conversion is completed. The vehicle
brake operating modes must be checked,
including warning system and parking brakes.
WARNING: Do not restrict the airflow and
cooling to the brake system.
NOTE:
Do not obstruct the view of the brake fluid
reservoir level.
The brake fluid reservoir must remain accessible
for servicing and for adding brake fluid.
2.2.2 Brake Hoses
CAUTION: Make sure that the front and
rear brake hoses are not twisted and are
correctly located away from body and
chassis components.
Front and rear brake hoses must not rub, chafe or
rest on body or chassis or body components.
There must be clearance under all operating
conditions, between full compression and
extension and full lock to lock.
Brake lines must not be used to support or secure
any other component.
2.2.3 Trailer Brake Connection
WARNING: A pre-installed trailer brake
wire provides a pulsed brake signal of
varying frequencies. This pulsed signal
is not a direct current (DC) signal. If an
aftermarket brake controller is installed,
the vehicle owner or installer must ensure
that it is compatible with all pulsed
signals from the pre-installed trailer
brake wire. Failure to ensure
compatibility of your brake controller
may result in loss of vehicle control,
which could result in serious injury or
death. If clarification is required on the
specifications of the pulsed signals,
please contact your Authorised Ford
Dealer.
