Standard Pull-to-Engage Type Parking Brake Control
Illustration 2 g00897563
Use the parking brake control to engage or disengage the parking brake when you park the machine. The parking brake control is a push-pull type switch.
Parking Brake Control - Push the parking brake control knob inward to the OFF position in order to disengage the parking brake. Pull the parking brake control knob outward to the ON position in order to engage the parking brake. Optional Push-to-Engage Type Parking Brake Control
Illustration 3 g00897566
Use the parking brake control to engage or disengage the parking brake when you park the machine. The parking brake control is a push-pull type switch.
Parking Brake Control - Pull the parking brake control knob outward to the OFF position in order to disengage the parking brake. Push the parking brake control knob inward to the ON position in order to engage the parking brake. Parking Brake Drive Through
In the case of a hydraulic failure where pressure oil to release the parking brake is not available, a drive through mode is provided. This will allow the machine to be driven through the parking brake to a safe location.If a hydraulic or electrical failure occurs, the parking brake may automatically engage. Perform the following procedure to move the machine under these conditions. During this procedure, the Caterpillar Monitoring System will activate a Category Three Warning.
Make sure the area is clear of personnel and other machines.

Wheel steering machines
Move transmission direction and speed control (1) to the FIRST speed forward or FIRST speed reverse position.
In a rapid motion, move transmission direction control (1) to the NEUTRAL position and then back to FIRST speed forward or FIRST speed reverse position.
Increase the engine speed and the machine will drive through the engaged parking brake.
Steer the machine to a safe location.
Driving the machine through the parking brakes for an extended period can cause severe damage to the braking system.Inspect the parking brake system and make any necessary repairs before returning the machine to operation.
Service Brake
Illustration 6 g00897634
Service Brake/Transmission Neutralizer Pedal (1) - Use the left brake pedal to disengage the transmission and to slow down the machine's ground speed. This permits higher engine speed for better hydraulic response.
Apply - Depress the left brake pedal when truck loading, positioning or when raising the bucket to increase hydraulic speed and reduce unnecessary torque converter stalling. It can also be used to give additional hydraulic power in difficult or particularly tight digging (mucking) conditions.
Release - Release the pedal to re-engage the transmission and to release the brake. Service Brake Pedal (2) - The right brake pedal slows down the machine ground speed for normal braking.
Apply - Depress the right brake pedal for normal machine braking.
Release - Release the pedal to release the brake. If the service brake pedal does not stop the machine, use the parking brake control to stop the machine. When the machine stops, block the wheels. If necessary, make repairs.
