DESCRIPTION

The
vehicle
is
fitted
with
either
disc

brakes
or
two

leading

shoe

type
drum
brakes
for
the
front
wheels
and

leading
trailing

shoe

type
drum
brakes
for

the
rear

wheels

All
brakes
are

hydraulically
operated
from
the
brake

pedal

with
the
rear
brakes

additionally
operated

by
a
mechanical

handbrake
and

linkage
system
Either
a

single
or
a
tandem

master

cylinder
can
be
fitted
The
tandem
master

cylinder

provides
a
dual

braking
circuit
in
which
the
front
and
rear

brakes
are

separately
supplied
If
ODe
circuit
fails
the
other

circuit
will

still

operate
and
provide
a
reduced
but
efficient

braking
action

The
brake

pipes
are

double
wall
steel
tubes
and
are

galvanized
at
the
sections
beneath
the
vehicle
floor
to

prevent

corrosion
