DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The mechanical components of the hydraulic braking
system consist of four piston caliper disc brakes at the
front and two piston caliper disc brakes at the rear.
The front brake discs are vented.
A cable controlled parking brake operates a single
drum brake mounted on the rear output shaft of the
transfer gearbox and is completely independent of the
main braking system.
The basic hydraulic system involves 2 separate and
independent primary and secondary...

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION When the brakes are off, the fluid can move
unrestricted between the dual line system and the
separate reservoirs in the fluid supply tank. When the
footbrake is applied, the primary plunger assembly
moves up the cylinder bore and the pressure created
acts in conjunction with the primary spring to
overcome the secondary springs, thus moving the
secondary plunger assembly up the bore at the same
time. Initial movement of both plungers takes the
recuperating seals past...
