BRAKE SYSTEM
SERVICE BRAKES. The service brakes are hydraulically actuated by depressing the combination service brake and
inching pedal. Four separate disc brake assemblies, one associated with each wheel, are mounted inside the front and
rear axles.
MASTER CYLINDERS. Two separate circuits are used for the front and rear brakes. Separate master cylinders contain
the fluid used to operate the two circuits.
PARKING BRAKE. Spring actuated, hydraulically released cylinder sets the two front axle disc brake assemblies
preventing the front axle and wheels from turning. Parking brake is automatically engaged when the engine stops. A
toggle switch, located on the instrument panel, engages or disengages the parking brake when the engine is running. In
the ON position, the switch deactivates a solenoid valve allowing the spring to retract the cylinder rod and apply the parking
brake. In the OFF position, the switch activates the solenoid to hydraulically extend the cylinder rod and disengage the
parking brake.

STEERING SYSTEM
STEERING CYLINDERS. A cylinder is integral to each axle. Rod ends of the cylinder are attached to the wheel hubs and
the cylinder is controlled by the steering wheel.
STEERING CONTROL UNIT. Connected directly to the steering wheel and located under the instrument panel. Controls
the steering function by directing the flow of hydraulic oil to the cylinders.
STEERING SELECTOR VALVE. Allows the selection of two wheel, four wheel, or crab steering through manual
positioning of control lever. Mounted to underside of floor.
PRIORITY VALVE. Provides a priority flow of hydraulic oil to the steering system. Excess flow is directed to the hydraulic
system. Mounted beneath floor.
STEERING BYPASS VALVE. Disconnects the flow of oil to the rear steering cylinders. Used only when towing the
4KRTFL.
