Hydraulic Brake Option for 40XT Skid Steers

Product Overview

The 40XT Skid Steers offer an optional hydraulic brake system designed for enhanced safety and operational control. This system features innovative spring-applied, hydraulic-released disc brakes seamlessly integrated into the hydraulic motors mounted on the chain tanks of the chassis.

Key Features

• Disc Type Brakes: Provides robust stopping power, ensuring stability even on challenging terrains.
• Integrated Design: Brakes are built into the front of the hydraulic motors, promoting compactness and efficiency.
• Control Lever Activation: Easily engage the brakes using the brake switch on the left-hand control lever.
• Smooth Operation: Brakes engage and automatically shift the transmission control to neutral to prevent movement.
• Indicator Light: Park brake indicator illuminates on the left control panel for easy monitoring.

Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: Prevents accidental machinery movement, ensuring operator safety at all times.
• Automatic Engagement: The brake piston engages automatically in case of hydraulic or electrical failure, providing peace of mind.
• Operational Efficiency: Quick and reliable engagement and release of brakes enhances workflow productivity.

Usage Recommendations

• Engage Brakes: Depress the brake switch on the left control lever to engage the brakes and set the transmission to neutral.
• Release Brakes: Depress the brake switch again to disengage the brakes and resume normal operation.
• Maintenance Tip: Regularly check the brake system and solenoid valve located on the machine’s right side to ensure optimal function.

Note: In the event of hydraulic or electrical failure, the system is designed to automatically engage the brake for added safety.
