Manual Extract: Hydraulic Brake Option
The 40XT Skid Steers can be optionally equipped with two spring-applied, hydraulic-released disc type brakes. The brakes are integrated into the front of the hydraulic motors which are mounted to the chain tanks on the chassis.
The brakes are activated by depressing the brake switch on the left hand control lever. This action causes the brakes to engage and the transmission control to go to neutral. This prevents the drive sprocket from turning and the machine from moving. The park brake indicator illuminates on the left control panel. Depressing the brake switch again will release the brakes.

Power to release the brakes is supplied by charge pressure from the tandem pump to the brake and travel solenoid valve, located on the right side of the machine. When the solenoid is de-energized the valve opens the brake port passage to the reservoir.

In the event of electrical or hydraulic failure, the brake piston will automatically engage the brake disc.
