1. OUTLINE
ö The brakes are operated by a pressure compensated, closed center hydraulic system.
Flow is supplied by a fixed displacement, gear type brake pump.
BRAKE SYSTEM
The fixed displacement brake pump supplies flow to the cut-off valve for service brake circuit and
park brake circuits. It flows to three accumulator. The accumulator has a gas precharge and an
inlet check valve to maintain a pressurized volume of oil for reserve brake applications.
Oil through the accumulator flows to the brake valves. The brake valve is a closed center design,
dual circuit operated by a pedal.
Brake pump flow also goes to the parking brake solenoid valve in cut off valve.
The brake system contains the following components:
ÂBrake pump
ÂParking brake solenoid valve in cut off valve.
ÂCut-off valve
ÂBrake valve
ÂAccumulators
ÂPressure switches

ADVANTAGES - The full power hydraulic Response time

Air/Hydraulic brake actuation
traditional brake actuation systems. These
systems are capable of supplying fluid to a 1000

Brake pressure
Full power systems can supply significantly 500 (Air/hydraulic)
higher brake pressures with relatively low 400 Brake torque
reactive pedal forces. The reactive pedal (Air/hydraulic)
force felt by the operator will be proportional 300
Brake torque
to the brake line pressure being generated. 200 (Full power)
This is referred to as brake pressure

Another key design feature of full power
0 1 2 3 4
systems is the ability to control maximum
Time(Seconds)
brake line pressure. In addition, because
these systems operate with hydraulic oil,
filtration can be utilized to provide long
component life and low maintenance
operation.
Because these systems are closed center,
by using a properly sized accumulator,
emergency power-off braking that is
identical to power-on braking can be
achieved. These systems can be either
dedicated, where the brake system pump
supplies only the demands of the brake
system or non-dedicated, where the pump
supplies the demands of the brake system
as well as some secondary down stream
hydraulic devise.
Another important note is that all seals
within these system must be compatible
with the fluid medium being used.

When the pedal of brake valve(8) is depressed, the operating force overcomes the force of the
spring, and is transmitted to the spool. When the spool moves down, the inlet port is opened, and
at the same time the hydraulic oil controlled the pressure level by the cut-off valve(5) enters the
piston in the front and rear axles. Therefore, the service brake is applied.

When the parking brake switch is pressed B position, the solenoid valve is energized and the
hydraulic oil controlled the pressure level by the cut-off valve enters the parking brake. It overcomes
the force of the spring and pushes the piston rod. This releases the brake.
Therefore, the hydraulic oil pressure is applied to the parking brake piston through the solenoid
valve and the parking brake is kept released.

2) PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
(1) Mechanism for delivering oil
The drawing at right shows the
operational principle of an external gear
pump in which two gears are rotating in
mesh.
The oil entering through the suction port is Suction Discharge
trapped in the space between two gear
teeth, and is delivered to the discharge
port as the gear rotates.
Except for the oil at the bottom of the gear
teeth, the oil trapped between the gear
teeth, is prevented from returning to the
suction side with the gears in mesh.
Since the gears are constantly delivering
oil, the oil delivered to the discharge port
is forced out of the port.
The amount of discharge increases with
the speed of rotation of the gear.
If there is no resistance in the oil passage
into which the discharged oil flows, the oil
merely flows through the passage,
producing no increase in pressure.
If however, the oil passage is blocked with
something like a hydraulic cylinder, there
will be no other place for the oil to flow, so
the oil pressure will rise. But the pressure
which rises in this way will never go
higher, once the hydraulic cylinder piston
starts moving because of the oil pressure.
As described earlier, the pump produces
the oil flow, but not the oil pressure. We
can therefore conclude that pressure is a
consequence of load.
In other words, the pressure depends on
a counterpart.
(770-3ATM) 4-9
4-9
(2) Internal oil leakage
Oil leaks from a place under higher
pressure to a place under lower pressure,
provided that a gap or a clearance exists
in between.
In the gear pump, small clearances are
provided between the gear and the case
and between the gear and the side plate
to allow the oil to leak out and to serve as
a lubricant so that the pump will be
rge
protected from seizure and binding.
scha
Di
The drawing at right shows how the
leaked oil flows in the pump. As such,
there is always oil leakage in the pump
from the discharge side(under higher
pressure) to the suction side. The
n
delivery of the pump is reduced by an ctio
Su
amount equal to the pump discharge.
In addition, the delivery of the pump will
also decrease as the amount of oil
leakage increases because of expanded
radial clearance resulting from the wear of
pump parts, the lower oil viscosity
resulting from increases in the oil
temperature, and the initial use of low
(770-3ATM) 4-10
viscosity oil.
4-10
(3) Forces acting on the gear
The gear, whose outer surface is
subjected to oil pressure, receives forces
jointing towards its center.
Due to the action of the delivery pressure,
the oil pressure in higher on the delivery
side of the pump, and due to suction
pressure, is lower on the suction side. In
the intermediate section, the pressure will
gradually lower as the position moves
from the delivery side to the suction side. Drive gear
This phenomenon is shown in the drawing
at right.
In addition, the gears in mesh will receive
Suction Discharge
interacting forces. side side
These forces pushing the gears toward
the suction side are received by the
bearings. Since the gears are pressed
Driven gear
toward the suction side by these forces,
the radial clearance becomes smaller on
the suction side in the case. In some
pumps, the clearance may become zero,
thus allowing the gear teeth and the case Pressure distribution
to come into light contact.
For this reason, an excessive increase in
the delivery pressure must be avoided,
since it will produce a large force which
will act on the gears, placing an overload
on the bearings, and resulting in a
shortened service life of the bearing or
interference of the gear with the case. (770-3ATM) 4-11

2) OPERATION
The two identical brake pads and slide freely on the guide bolt, which is fastened in the housing.
The guide bolts are guided in an additional brake anchor plate which in turn is screwed onto the
vehicle, i.e. its axle.
On actuation, the brake generates a clamping force at the brake lining pads, which cause a
tangential force/braking moment to be generated at the brake disk, the extent of which depends on
the coefficients of friction generated by the linings.
The clamping force is generated by the bank of cup springs, during which the piston is moved
together with the adjusting screw, the thrust bolt and the brake pad towards the brake disk.
When the brake pad comes into contact with the brake disk, the reaction force shifts the housing
onto the guide bolts until the brake pad is also pressed against the brake disk.
The brake is released by complete pre-tensioning of the bank of cup springs. Du-ring this process,
through application of the necessary release pressure after overcoming the cup spring force, the
piston must move back until it comes to rest against the pressure ring.
The clamping force diminishes with wear of the brake lining and brake disk. The brake must be
adjusted at the latest at the times indicated by the adjusting specification followings.

(1) Purpose
The purpose of the brake valve is to sensitively increase and decrease the braking pressure when
the brake pedal is actuated.
(2) Ready position
A connection is established between ports(BR) and ports(T) so that the wheel brakes ports(BR)
are pressureless via the returns ports(T).
(3) Partial braking
When the brake valve is actuated, an amount of hydraulic pressure is output as a ratio of the foot
force applied.
The main spring(6) beneath pedal plate(12) is designed in such a way that the braking pressure
changes depending on the angle. In the lower braking pressure range, the machine can be
slowed sensitively.
When the braking process is commenced, the spool(2) is mechanically actuated via main spring
(6). As spool(2) move downward, they will first close returns(T) via the control edges, thus
establishing a connection between accumulator ports(P) and ports(BR) for the wheel brake
cylinders. The foot force applied now determines the output braking pressure. The control
spool(2) is held in the control position by the force applied(Spring assembly above the spool).
After output of the braking pressure, spool(2) is in a partial braking position, causing ports(P) and
ports(T) to close and holding the pressure in ports(BR).
(4) Full braking position
When pedal is fully actuated, end position of the brakes is reached and a connection established
between accumulator ports(P) and brake cylinder ports(BR). Returns(T) are closed at this point.
When the braking process is ended, a connection is once again established between brake
cylinder ports(BR) and return ports(T), closing accumulator ports(P).
(5) Limiting the braking pressure
Pedal restriction bolt(19) on base plate below pedal is used to limit the braking pressure.
(6) Installation requirements
Return lines(T) must be connected directly to the tank.
The connecting lines must be installed is such a way as to permit proper bleeding.
(7) Maintenance of the brake valve
No special maintenance beyond the legal requirements is necessary.
When using high-pressure cleaners on the machine, please make sure that the water jet is not
aimed directly at the brake valve(To prevent damaging the bellows).
For safety reasons the whole of the brake valve must be replaced if parts other than those
listed above are damaged.
4-22
(8) Repair work
When working on the braking system, always make sure that there is absolutely no
pressure in the system. Even when the engine is switched off there will be some residual
pressure in the system.
ö When doing repair work, make sure your environment is very clean.
Immediately close all open ports on the components and on pipes using plugs.
(9) Replacing the pedal cover
Pedal cover(13-2) is simply pulled of by hand. The new pedal cover is pushed over pedal(13-1)
and tightened manually. Fasten the bellows with the strap retainers.
(10) Replacing the complete actuating mechanism
Carefully clamp the unit vertically in a fixture. The actuating mechanism can be removed by
taking out the four bolts. Make sure that main spring (6) does not fall out. When installing the new
actuating mechanism, make sure that main spring (6) is fitted in the right order.
(11) Replacing the bellows
To change bellows(15) it is advisable to remove pedal(13). For this purpose, loosen retaining ring
(18) and knock out pin 1(16) using a mandrill. When knocking out the bolt, make sure that the
mandrill is applied to the side of the bolt without a knurl. Remove pedal(13) and bellows(15).
Now fit the new bellows and proceed in reverse order as described above. The upper portion of
bellows is fastened to piston(4), its lower portion to pedal plate(12) secure the bellows using
clamps.

2) OPERATION
When the pump works, the oil under the pressure flows into P port.
The oil in P port is stored in the accumulator on A3 port.
As the pressure on P line rises to 150bar, the cut off valve(1) starts cut-offing and the oil in the P
port is unloaded. The pressure on P line goes down 120bar by the minute leakage from valve and
other factors.
At this pressure, the cut-off valve starts cuting.
This process is repeated in the regular period of 30~40 seconds.

(770-3ATM) 4-22
2) OPERATION
(1) Purpose
Fluids are practically incompressible and are thus incapable of accumulating pressure energy. In
hydropneumatic accumulators, the compressibility of a gas is utilized to accumulate fluid. The
compressible medium used in the accumulators is nitrogen.
In braking systems, the purpose of the accumulators is to store the energy supplied by the
hydraulic pump. They are also used as an energy reserve when the pump is not working, as a
compensator for any losses through leakage, and as oscillation dampers.
(2) Operation
The accumulator consists of a fluid portion (A) and a gas portion (B) with a diaphragm (C) as a
gas-tight dividing element. The fluid portion (A) is connected to the hydraulic circuit, causing the
diaphragm accumulator to be filled and the gas volume to be compressed as the pressure rises.
When the pressure falls, the compressed gas volume will expand, thus displacing the
accumulated pressure fluid into the circuit.
The diaphragm bottom contains a valve disk (D) which, if the diaphragm accumulator is
completely empty, closes the hydraulic outlet, thus preventing damage to the diaphragm.
(3) Installation requirements
The accumulators can be fitted in the hydraulic circuit, directly on a component or in blocks on
suitable consoles.
They should be fitted in as cool a location as possible.
Installation can be in any position.
4-25
(4) Maintenance of the accumulator
No special maintenance beyond the legal requirements is necessary.
The accumulator should be checked annually. It should be replaced if the initial gas pressure has
fallen by more than 30%(Please refer to Performance testing and checking of the
accumulator).
(5) Disposal of the accumulator
Before the accumulator is scrapped, its gas filling pressure must be reduced. For this purpose,
drill a hole through gas chamber(B) using a drill approx. 3mm in diameter. The gas chamber is
located on the side opposite the threaded port above the welding seam around the center of the
accumulator.
ö Wear safety goggles when doing this job.
(6) Performance testing and checking of the accumulator
The accumulator is gradually pressurized via the test pump; until the initial gas pressure is
reached, the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator will rise abruptly. This is apparent from gauge
M. If the initial gas pressure is more than 30% below the prescribed value, the accumulator
needs to be replaced. If the measuring process needs to be repeated, wait for intervals of 3
minutes between the individual tests. Any accumulator whose initial gas pressure is insufficient
must be scrapped following the instructions under Disposal of the accumulator.
The amount of initial gas pressure can also be checked from the vehicle. Start the vehicle's
engine. The pump will now supply oil to the accumulators. Until the initial gas pressure is
reached, the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator will rise abruptly. This is apparent from the
gauge in the cab. If the initial gas pressure is more than 30% below the prescribed value, that
initial pressure lies outside the permissible range for at least one of the accumulators fitted in the
vehicle. This accumulator can be traced only by using the method described above, i.e. all
accumulators have to be individually tested. The accumulator whose initial gas pressure is
insufficient must be replaced and scrapped following the instruction under Disposal of the
accumulator.

(7) Repair work
When working on the braking system, always make sure that there is absolutely no
pressure in the system. Even when the engine in switched off there will be some residual
pressure in the system.
ö When doing repair work, make sure your environment is very clean.
Immediately close all open ports on the components and on pipes using plugs.
For safety reasons the accumulators need to be replaced as a whole if damaged.

2) OPERATION
(1) Purpose
The pressure switches are used to visually or audibly warn the driver of the pressure within the
system.
(2) Make contact / circuit closer
The pressure switch can be fitted in the braking system or directly on one of its components.
The system pressure acts on an absorption area within the switch, making an electrical contact as
the pressure on that area is increased. The resulting current is used to activate a warning facility,
for instance.
(3) Break contact / circuit breaker
The pressure switch can be fitted in the braking system or directly on one of its components.
The system pressure acts on a absorption area within the switch, breaking an electrical contact
as the pressure on that area is increased. The current is now broken, e.g. to deactivate a warning
facility.
(4) Installation requirements
No special measures need to be taken.
(5) Maintenance of the pressure switch
No special maintenance beyond the legal requirements is necessary.
When using high-pressure cleaners on the vehicle, please make sure that the water jet is not
directed at the pressure switch(Corrosion of contacts).
(6) Repair work
When working on the braking system, always make sure that there is absolutely no
pressure in the system. Even when the engine is switched off there will be some residual
pressure in the system.
ö When doing repair work, make sure your environment is very clean.
Immediately close all open ports on the components and on pipes using plugs.
ö For safety reasons the pressure switch needs to be replaced as a whole if damaged.

(7) Adjusting and testing pressure switch
The adjusting screw located between the two contact plugs can be set to the desired value within
a certain range. For adjusting range, please refer to the table Technical data on the previous
page.
After making the adjustment, the adjusting screw should be secured using wax or a similar
material.
