Service Brakes
Brake Fluid Level
WARNING
Small amounts of water in the brake system can cause
reduced braking performance if the water reaches the
wheel cylinder area. Do not allow water entry, ensure that
the sealed reservoir lid is properly replaced.
If the brake system has a power assist (or boost), braking
will be more difficult if the engine is not running.
On lift trucks with wet brake drive axles, only use Dexron
III oil from sealed container in the master cylinder.
On lift trucks with dry brake drive axles, only use SAE
J-1703 (DOT 3) brake fluid in the master cylinder.
Loss of fluid from the brake fluid reservoir indicates a
leak. Repair the brake system before using the lift truck.
Replace the brake fluid in the system if there is dirt or
water in the system.
Failure to observe the above warnings could result in
death or serious injury.
There is an indicator light on the Display Switch Cluster for
the brake fluid. The red light is
ON
when the key switch is in
the
START
position or the Power
ON/OFF
button is pressed,
and must go
OFF
when the engine is running. If the light is
ON
when the engine is running, the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is too low.
Operation, Check
Check the operation of the service brakes. Push on the
inching/brake pedal. The service brakes must be applied
before the inching/brake pedal reaches the floor plate. The
pedal must stop firmly and must not move slowly down after
the brakes are applied. The service brakes must apply
equally to both drive wheels. The service brakes must not pull
the lift truck to either side of the direction of travel when they
are applied. The service brakes are automatically adjusted
when the transmission is in reverse and the lift truck is moving
and the brakes are firmly applied. Full application of the
inching/brake pedal applies the service brakes and puts the
transmission in
NEUTRAL
.
Lift trucks with a Foot Directional Control pedal:
when the
inching/brake pedal is fully applied, the engine can be star-
ted.
