    Parking Brake - Test


    SMCS - 4267-081 

    This procedure should be used to determine if the parking brake is functional. This procedure is intended 
    to measure the maximum brake holding effort. The brake holding effort that is required to sustain a 
    machine at a specific engine rpm varies depending on the machine. The variations are the differences in 
    the engine setting, in the power train efficiency, and in the brake holding ability, etc.  

    Personal injury can result if the machine moves while testing the
    parking brake.

    If the machine begins to move during the test, reduce the engine speed
    immediately and apply the service brakes. 

    Test the parking brake on a dry, level surface.  

    Check the area around the machine. Make sure that the machine is clear of personnel and clear of 
    obstacles.

    turn ON and the master action light will flash. The action alarm will sound.  

    4. Engage the parking brake. Change upshift gear speed switch (2) to THIRD SPEED. Change 
    transmission direction control switch (3) to the FORWARD position, while the AUTO shift 
    switch is in the OFF position. 

    5. Gradually increase the engine speed to high idle. The machine should not move. 

    6. Reduce the engine speed to low idle. Switch transmission direction control switch (3) to the 
    NEUTRAL position. 

    7. Lower the bucket to the ground. Stop the engine. 

    8. Inspect the parking brake components for wear or damage if the machine moves during testing.
