GROVE
PARKING BRAKE
Description
The parking brake is mounted on the front axle input shaft in
line between the front axle and the driveline from the
transmission. The brake is a disc-type brake that is
controlled by a switch on the front console in the cab and is
spring-applied and hydraulically released by an actuator.
Maintenance
Removal
Use the following procedure and refer to Figure 8-28 when
removing the brake.
1.
Chock the wheels to prevent crane movement.
2.
Start the engine, ensure the transmission is in neutral,
and position the Park Brake Switch to OFF. This will
pressurize the brake actuator to release the tension on
the brake linkage.
3.
Remove plug (16), back off both jam nuts (39), loosen
socket head cap screw (38) and socket set screw (12).
4.
Position the Park Brake Switch to ON and turn off
engine.
5.
Loosen the brake line and cap inlet port.
6.
Loosen jam nut/sleeves (35), remove hex mounting
bolts from the bracket and remove brake.
Installation
Use the following procedure and refer to Figure 8-28 when
installing the brake.
NOTE:
Mount brake so that the linings are parallel with the
disc within 0.015 in (0.381 mm).
1.
Slide brake over disc and into the mounting position.
2.
Start hex mounting bolts (36) into mounting surface far
enough to just support the brake.
3.
Remove plug (16), loosen the coupling nut (13) and then
tighten socket setscrew (12) until linings (37) are
clamped to the disc. This locates and holds the brake in
the proper position to set the hex mounting bolts.
4.
Tighten hex mounting bolts (36) until they make contact
with the urethane springs (33), then tighten 4 flats
approximately 0.07 in (1.778 mm) more. This puts the
proper amount of pre-load on the urethane springs.
5.
Tighten jam nut/sleeves (35) against mounting surface
and torque 200 lb-ft (271.1 Nm).
6.
Attach brake line to inlet port located on the top of the
hydraulic cylinder (26).
7.
Apply hydraulic pressure to the brake.
8.
Set the running clearance by doing the following:
a.
Remove the plug(16).
b.
Loosen coupling nut (13).
c.
Rotate the socket set screw (12) until the brake is
clamped onto the disc.
d.
Loosen the outer hex nut (39) and rotate socket
head cap screw (38) until it makes contact with the
bump stop on the mounting bracket, then back it off
1/4 turn (0.016 in/0.406 mm).
e.
Hold the socket head cap screw (38) in place while
tightening the outer hex nut (39) against the inner
hex nut (39) to 30 - 35 lb-ft (40.7 - 47.5 Nm).
f.
Back off the socket set screw (12) 1/2 turn (0.028 in/
0.711 mm).
g.
Hold the socket set screw (12) in place and torque
coupling nut (13) to 50 - 55 lb-ft (67.8 - 74.6 Nm).
h.
Replace plug. Torque plug 45 - 50 lb-ft (61.0 -
67.7 Nm).
NOTE:
Re-adjust the brake when running clearance
reaches a total of 0.10 in (2.54 mm).
9.
Position the Park Brake Switch to ON and shut down the
engine.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 270 psi (1861.5 kPa) hydraulic pressure to
avoid damage to the brake; 170 psi (1172.1 kPa) is
required to fully release the brake.
CAUTION
Brake linings are susceptible to contamination. When
installing or servicing brakes, keep all oil and fluids away
from the linings. Poor brake performance may result if the
linings are contaminated.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 270 psi (1861.5 kPa) hydraulic pressure to
avoid damage to the brake; 170 psi (1172.1 kPa) is
required to fully release the brake.
