(14) Cover

Power from the differential flows through the drive chain to sprocket (4) . Inside the wheel spindle
housing (3) , the sprocket (4) turns wheel spindle (10) , brake hub (6) , and revolving discs (8) .
The drive wheels are connected to wheel spindle (10) .

There is one disc type brake in each wheel spindle housing (3) . The four disc type brakes are used
for the service brake system. The brakes are cooled through the oil in tandem housing (2) . The
service brakes are activated by air pressure from the air control valve for the service brakes. There
is a Duo-Cone seal (11) that is located between the wheel spindle (10) and the wheel spindle
housing (3) . The Duo-Cone seal will seal in the oil. The Duo-Cone seal will also keep out the dirt,
the water, and the other contaminants.

Stationary discs (7) are splined into wheel spindle housing (3) . Revolving discs (8) are splined
onto brake hub (6) . The brake hub (6) is splined onto wheel spindle (10) .

(16) Air pressure gauge

Air from each section of the air tank flows into the respective air pressure gauge (15) and (16) on
the instrument panel and to the air control valve (17) for the service brakes.

Location of Air Control Valve (Service Brake)

(17) Air control valve for the service brakes

When you depress the service brake control (pedal), a rod actuates air control valve (17) for the
service brakes. Then, the air control valve for the service brakes will send part of the air pressure
from the sections of the air tank to the service brakes. The position of the pedal regulates the
amount of air pressure to the brakes.

Air pressure flows through air inlet port (1) into air compartment (9) . Air then moves air piston
(13) against stationary discs (7) and revolving discs (8) . The air piston pushes the discs against
cover (14) . As the air pressure increases, air piston (13) is forced against the discs. This will cause
friction between the discs. As the friction becomes greater, revolving discs (8) , brake hub (6) and
wheel spindle (10) will start to slow down, since stationary discs (7) and wheel spindle housing
(3) cannot turn. The brakes are in the BRAKE ON position, but the brakes are not fully engaged.

If the operator continues to depress the pedal downward, the air pressure will increase in air
compartment (9) . The friction between discs will then become great enough to stop revolving
discs (8) , brake hub (6) and wheel spindle (10) . Air pressure is held in the brakes in order to keep
the brakes in the BRAKE ON position.

When the operator releases the pedal, the air pressure in the air compartment (9) is released
through air inlet port (1) to the service brake control valve (17) . Then, springs (12) force air
piston (13) back to the BRAKE OFF position. Revolving discs (8) are again free to turn between
stationary discs (7) .

There is a plug at the bottom of the wheel spindle housing (3) . This plug can be removed in order
to check the wear of the friction discs. The wear of the friction disc can be checked by observing
the piston travel with a 5P-7389 Plug As .

Before you inspect the brake pack for wear, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Brake Disc Wear -
Check". The information is in this manual.
