a. Service Brake Valve Removal
1. Park the machine on a firm, level surface, level the
machine, fully retract the boom, lower the boom,
place the transmission control lever in (N) NEUTRAL,
engage the park brake and shut the engine OFF.
2. Place a Do Not Operate Tag on both the ignition key
switch and the steering wheel, stating that the
machine should not be operated.
3. Open the rear door. Allow the system fluids to cool.
4. Properly disconnect the battery.
5. Remove the lower and front dash panels.
6. Label, disconnect and cap all hose attached to the
service brake valve (1).
7. Remove the four capscrews and four lockwashers
mounting the service brake valve to the steering
column support.
Note: DO NOT disassemble the service brake valve.
The service brake valve is not serviceable and must be
replaced in its entirety, if defective.
8.7.4 Service Brake Valve Installation
1. Install the service brake valve with the four
capscrews and four lockwashers onto the steering
column support.
Note: ALWAYS replace seals, o-rings, gaskets, etc.,
with new parts to help ensure proper sealing and
operation. Lubricate seals and o-rings with clean
hydraulic oil.
2. Use new oiled o-rings as required. Uncap and
connect the previously labeled hoses to the service
brake valve.
3. Check the routing of all hoses, and tubing for sharp
bends or interference with any rotating members,
and install tie wraps and/or protective conduit as
required. Tighten all tube and hose clamps.
4. Properly connect the battery.
5. Remove the Do Not Operate Tags from both the
ignition key switch and the steering wheel.
6. Start the engine and run at approximately one-third
to one-half throttle for about one minute, without
moving the machine or operating any of the
hydraulic functions.
7. Inspect the service brake valve and connections for
leaks, and check the level of the hydraulic fluid in the
reservoir. Shut the engine OFF.
Note: Check for leaks, and repair as required
before continuing. Add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir
as needed.
8. Wipe up any hydraulic fluid spillage in, on, near and
around the machine, work area and tools.
9. Install the lower and front dash panels.
10. Close and secure the rear door.
8.7.5 Brake Bleeding
Carefully bleed the brake lines as soon as the brake valve
is installed in the machine. Air in the system will not allow
the brakes to apply properly. There are four brake
bleeder locations on the axles. Work with an assistant to
perform this procedure.
1. Place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL,
engage the park brake, and start the engine.
