Simple inspection and service
Use the air pressure gauge to check compressed
air pressure. The gauge should indicate a pressure
in range .
Also, make sure that the air pressure builds up at
the proper rate. This can be checked as follows:
1. Set the parking brake and stop the engine.
2. Open the drain cock to release all compressed
air from the air tank.
3. Start the engine and run it at idling speed while
timing how long it takes for the pressure to
reach 100 lb./in
2
. The time should be as indi-
cated below.
CAUTION
Never operate the vehicle when the air pressure
gauge needle is in the red zone. Doing so is
dangerous as braking power is insufficient.
1 Parking brake lever stroke check
<Other than FM65F>
1. Depress the brake pedal firmly so that the vehi-
cle cannot move.
2. Gently pull up parking brake lever from the fully
returned position while counting the clicks until it
cannot be moved any more with a 300 N (66
lbs., 30 kgf) force (click are generated by
notches).
3. The lever stroke is normal if the number of clicks
is from 7 to 10.
4. Make sure that the lever is locked securely in
the pulled up position.
