GENERAL
a.
Brake systems are classified in different categories depending upon how they
are actuated or assisted.
There are air hydraulic, vacuum assist, hydraulic
assist, and air or hydraulic brake systems.
Every system except the
straight air system uses hydraulic lines to all wheels, wheel cylinders,
hydraulic reservoirs, and master cylinders.
b.
Wheel failure can have a multitude of causes.
Availability of replacement
wheels may become a problem that can be solved only by removal from other
damaged equipment.
An alternate source of supply for wheels is
foreign-owned equipment (refer to appendix C).
