 Service Brakes

 Hydraulically-actuated, wet, multiple-disc

brakes actuate all four wheels

 Left & right brake pedal offers normal

braking or neutralizes transmission when
cutoff switch is activated

 Designed for easy accessibility

 Excellent durability
 14,000-18,000 hours of service
Hydraulic System
Benefits

 All pumps work

together to give
you 30-35 sec
cycle time
depending on
application
 Hydraulic Improvements
