Aggressive Stop Test
All brake tests must be done in a safe location with regard for the safety of all personnel.
Always conduct a visual inspection and evaluate pedal travel before operating a vehicle to verify
some braking function is present.
The purpose of this test is to attempt to fully expand and release the brake adjusters on a vehicle which
has failed the first set of Periodic Brake Performance Tests. It is important that the technician/mechanic
exercise care and perform the test in a non-congested area with regard for the safety of all personnel.
To perform an Aggressive Stop Test, equally load both sides of the vehicle (Ref Fig. F13) and apply
maximum force and travel to the service brake pedal while moving. Do not latch the parking brake. Do
this a total of 10 times with the first few at slow speed. If brake function is adequate or improves,
increase speed for the remaining tests. Before the end of the tests, both wheels should lock at
approximately the same time and slide straight.
The brake adjuster mechanism must expand and release fully to function. Under light usage this
may not occur, even though the vehicle stops acceptably. The adjuster functions most
consistently with aggressive braking.
