PARKING BRAKE

Complete View of Parking Brake

The parking brake arrangement is cable operated.

It is a console mounted mechanical type brake

acting on rear wheels. The hand brake lever

situated in the cab operates it. When the hand

brake lever is pulled up, the parking brake lever

arrangement in the rear brake assembly inside

the rear brake drum brake is also pulled through

the cable system. This action expands the rear

brake shoes against the drum, thus applying the

rear brakes.

and keeping release button pressed, push down

the lever fully. When release button is pressed as
