New Vehicle Troubleshooting and Inspection
A new vehicle will undergo an initial break-in of components including brake cables and brake shoes. In
this break-in period, it is not uncommon for the brake pedal free travel (and the effort required to latch the
parking brake) to change. The timing of this change varies with terrain and the driving habits of the
operator(s). When this occurs, the brake linkage should be adjusted. See “Adjusting Brake Pedal Free
Travel”. After this initial period, no further adjustments should be required until routine maintenance is
scheduled.
Troubleshooting and Inspection Procedures
To troubleshoot the mechanical brake system, inspect the brake pedal and linkage to find worn or
damaged parts per the Troubleshooting Flowchart (Ref Fig. F5). Then, perform the Periodic Brake
Performance Test to evaluate system performance. Based on the results of the inspection and tests,
refer to the Troubleshooting Table (Ref Fig. F6) to evaluate symptoms and repairs. If required,
disassemble the wheel brake to locate and correct internal faults.
