The service brakes are controlled by two brake pedals in the operator station. The left and right brake pedal assemblies are connected
by a mechanical linkage. The left pedal is service brake and transmission neutralizer pedal (23). The right pedal is service brake pedal
(22).
When service brake pedal (22) is depressed, only the service brakes are applied. When service brake and transmission neutralizer
pedal (23) is depressed, the service brakes are applied and the transmission is neutralized. This allows the full engine power to be used
in the hydraulic system. When service brake and transmission neutralizer pedal (23) is released, the transmission engages and the
service brakes are released.
With the engine running, oil flows from hydraulic tank (56) to pilot and braking pump (54) which is part of the steering, pilot and braking
pump. The oil then flows from pilot and braking pump (54) through check valve (42) to brake accumulator charging valve (59).
Pilot oil pressure reducing valve (50) maintains a constant pressure in the pilot circuit.
The piston in brake accumulators (17) and (18) are held against the oil intake end with dry nitrogen gas. Brake accumulators (17) and
(18) store hydraulic oil pressure for the service brakes.
After the service brakes have been activated several times, the volume of oil in the accumulators is less. When the pressure in the
brake accumulators decrease, brake accumulator charging valve (59) directs oil from pilot and braking pump (54) to brake accumulators
(17) and (18). When the brake accumulator oil pressure rises, the charging spool in brake accumulator charging valve (59) blocks the
flow of oil to brake accumulators (17) and (18).

From brake accumulators (17) and (18), the oil flows to service brake control valve (39). Service brake control valve (39) is a tandem
valve that directs brake oil to both the front and the rear axle service brakes.
When a brake pedal is depressed, oil flows through service brake control valve (39) where oil pressure to the service brakes is reduced.
Oil flows out of the top port to rear wheel brakes (48), and out of the bottom port to front wheel brakes (8). Oil pressure is higher for the
rear service brakes than that of the front service brakes.
Oil pressure flows into the service brake section of the wheel brakes and acts against the service brake piston, causing the machine to
slow down or stop.
The parking brake is controlled by a switch on the dash panel in the operator station. The parking brake will not disengage until the
engine is running and the service brake oil pressure reaches operating pressure. The parking brake will automatically engage if brake
system oil pressure drops below the operating range. When the parking brake control switch is moved to the ON position, all parking
brakes are engaged.
With the engine running, oil flows from pilot and braking pump (54) through pilot oil pressure reducing valve (50). Pilot oil pressure
reducing valve (50) maintains a constant pressure in the pilot circuit. Pilot oil flows from pilot oil pressure reducing valve (50) to parking
brake control valve (16).
When the parking brake switch in the operator station is moved to the OFF position, the parking brake solenoids of parking brake
control valve (16) are energized. Oil flows through parking brake control valve (16) to both axles. Oil pressure then disengages the
parking brake in each wheel brake assembly.
The parking brake control valve solenoids are de-energized when the parking brake switch is moved to the ON position, or the engine
start switch key is turned to the OFF position. This will cause parking brake control valve (16) to return the parking brake oil to hydraulic
tank (56). The parking brake is now engaged.
If the parking brake is engaged due to a machine fault and the machine must be towed, the machine parking brake can be released
manually.
Reference: For information on manually releasing the parking brake, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Parking Brake
- Manual Release".
Certain Caterpillar machines equipped with the optional remote control system may be equipped with the optional brake release system.
If the parking brake is engaged due to a machine fault and the machine must be towed, the brake release system can be used to
release the machine parking brakes.
Reference: For information on the brake release system, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Brake Release System".
