Personal injury can result if the machine moves
while testing.
If the machine begins to move during test, reduce
the engine speed imme diately and engage the
parking brake.
The service brake holding ability test determines
whether the service brake is functional. This test is
not intended to measure the maximum brake holding
ability.
The holding ability of the service brakes at a specic
engine rpm will be different for each machine.
The results of the test should be recorded. The
results should be compared to previous test results
and subsequent test results. Use the comparison as
an indication of system deterioration for a particular
machine.
1. Before you perform the test, ensure that you can
testthebrakesonasurfacewhichislevel,dry,
and clear of obstacles. Fasten your seat belt.
Ensure that the transmission control is in the N
position and that the parking brake control is in
the ENGAGED position.
Start the engine and wait until the brake system is
fully charged.
2. Engage the service brakes. Move the transmission
control to the 1 position. Move the parking brake
control to the DISENGAGED position.
3. Gradually increase the engine speed until the
machine moves forward. Record the engine speed
when the machine moves.
Reduce the engine speed immediately and move
the parking brake control to the ENGAGED
position. Move the transmission control to the N
position. Shut off the engine.
4. If the machine moves at an engine speed below
1200 rpm, the service brakes require service.
NOTICE
If the machine
moved while testing the service brakes,
contact your Caterpillar dealer.
Have the deale
r inspect and, if necessary, repair the
service brakes before returning the machine to oper-
ation.
Parking Brake Check
The test for
the parking brake must be carried out with
the rated load in the truck body or OEM attachment.
Test the s e
rvice brakes and the secondary steering
system on level ground before you carry out this
procedure.
1. Drive the machine onto an incline of 15%. The

2. Engage the service brakes in order to stop
the machine on the incline. The area around
the mach
ine must be clear of personnel and
obstacles.
3. Move the
parking brake control to the ENGAGED
position. Move the transmission control to the N
position.
4. Shut off the engine.
5. Gradua
lly disengage the service brakes.
6. If the machine moves forward, engage the service
brake
s immediately. Start the engine. Disengage
the parking brake and drive the machine onto
level ground. Shut off the engine.
7. Check the thickness of the brake pad linings
and check the thickness of the brake disc. Refer
to Sp
ecications, RENR6724, “Parking Brake”.
Replace parts if the specication is not met.
If th
e machine moved during the test, the parking
brake requires service.
NOTICE
If the machine moved while testing the parking brake,
inspect the parking brake components for wear or
damage. Repair or replace the worn or damaged park-
ing brake components as required before returning the
machine to service.
