24 EMERGENCY BRAKE OPERATION
As the brake mechanism relies upon hydraulic pressure for its operation it is essential that
a minimum of 600 psi is in the system for the brakes to work correctly.
Without hydraulic oil the hydraulic system will be inoperative, including the auxiliary pump
and hand pump, but the emergency brake pressure cylinder is air pressurised to 600 psi.
This is sufficient pressure to allow 4- 5 brake applications should the fluid in the brake
system still be intact.
Without fluid in the braking system the brakes will be inoperative
If the braking system is intact refer to the section Emergency Hydraulic System Operation
to obtain hydraulic pressure.
