Using the Brake System Power Steering Flow Switch: senses flow of power steering fluid. Power Steering Fluid Reservoir: stores power steering fluid and offers a place to replenish when needed. Power Steering Gear: assists the steering operation and sends pressurized power steering fluid to the brake booster. Power Steering Pump: draws power steering fluid from the reservoir and sends it to the power steering gear. Warning Buzzer: sounds when either power steering fluid flow is interrupted or when a pressure differential is present between the primary and secondary brake fluid pressure. Either case adversely affects braking operation. Brake Warning Lamp When the brake warning lamp comes on, it indicates a malfunction in the brake system. Possible malfunctions include loss of hydraulic pressure from the power steering circuit or a pressure differential between the primary and secondary brake circuits. Operating Instructions WARNING! Do not operate the vehicle if the brake light or buzzer comes on. The light or buzzer indicates a failure in one of the brake components/system. Drive your vehicle to the side of the road immediately. Failure to do this may lead to an accident and severe injury. 0 !

Operating Instructions 1. Slow down carefully. Here are some things you can do to assist in slowing the vehicle: • Downshift - Putting the transmission into a lower gear will help slow the vehicle. • Pump the brakes - Pumping the brake pedal may generate enough hydraulic pressure to stop the vehicle. • Use the parking brake - The parking or emergency brake is separate from the hydraulic system. Therefore it can be used to slow the vehicle. 2. Move a safe distance off the road and stop. 3. Set the parking brake. (See page 35.) 4. Turn on the emergency flasher and use other warning devices to alert other motorists. Wet or Overheated Brakes • Wet Brakes If you have been driving in heavy rain or deep standing water, your brakes will get wet. Water in the brakes can cause them to be weak, to apply Using the Brake System unevenly, or to grab. These conditions can cause a lack of braking power, wheel lockups, or pulling of the vehicle to one side or the other. Avoid driving through deep puddles or flowing water if possible. If not possible, you should to the following: • Slow down. • Place transmission in lower gear. • Gently press on the brake pedal. • Increase engine speed while keeping light pressure on the brake pedal for a short distance to dry out the brake linings. • Overheated Brakes While traveling down steep hills, gravity will tend to speed you up. You must go slow enough that your brakes can hold you back without getting too hot. If you ride the brake pedal and the brakes get too hot, they may “fade”, causing you to press even harder in an attempt to maintain your desired stopping power. The brakes may even fade so much that you won’t be able to slow down or stop at all. Using lower transmission gears will help keep the vehicle from going too fast. Using lower gears allows engine compression and friction to help slow the Model 330 PB1318 3/01 – 89 –
