b. Parking Brake
The parking brake is operated mechanically.
If the hand lever located at the lower part of the instrument
panel is pulled upward with brake pedal stepped
powerfully, the parking brake lever holds the brake pedal
as stepped down. The next application is as processed as
the foot brake.
a . Brake
The brake is of mechanical wet-disc type with its two
pedals left and right operated respectively. If the pedal
(1) located at the front of the driver’s seat is stepped
down, brake rods 3 (4) and brake cam lever (5) linked
with brake lever by the hinge point are activated for-
ward while brake rod (3) is pulled upward. The cam
plate gets rotated, as the brake cam connected to the
brake cam lever turns to the direction as arrowed. When
the cam plate turns, the cam plate while being pushed
toward the steel ball between the cam plate and the
brake case compresses the brake disc.
