Brake system

(cont)

If loose, tighten. If damaged, replace. Refer to Vol 3, para 13-14.

WARNING

Make sure new longer front brake shoe hoses,

currently used on 5 ton trucks are installed on all 2

1/2 ton trucks. Old, shorter front brake hoses are

subject to failure during full steering travel and must

be replaced with new, longer front brake hoses.

Failure to do this could result in injury or death to

personnel.

(d) Inspect all flexible hydraulic brake hoses for bulges, pinches, cracks, crimping

chafing, abrasions, or leaks. If any of these conditions exist, replace or reposition

hoses to prevent failure. Check front brake hoses (11) for loose or missing

fittings, and make sure they are long enough to allow full steering travel. If brake

hose (11) is too short, it must be replaced with new, longer hose. Refer to Vol 3,

para 13-13.
