Brake Control Valve (Parking)

Parking Brake Control Valve

The operator's platform is removed for clarity.

The parking brake control valve is located next to the accumulator charging valve on the left side of the machine. Both
the parking brake control valve and the accumulator charging valve are mounted on a plate that is fastened to the top of
the fuel tank.

The parking brake control valve controls the flow of pressure oil for the parking brake actuator.

Push in on the parking brake control knob (1) in order to disengage the parking brake. This causes spool (8) and retainer
(9) to move right. This movement compresses spring (10) .

This allows pressure oil to flow into the pressure port from the brake accumulator for the front service brakes. The oil
then flows out of the port for the parking brake actuator (3). The oil then flows into a cavity in the actuator assembly for
the parking brake.

When the oil pressure in the cavity for the parking brake actuator is high enough to compress the actuator spring, the
parking brake disengages. The pressure of the oil keeps the parking brake in the DISENGAGED position.

Pull out the parking brake control knob (1) in order to engage the parking brake. Pulling out on the parking brake control
knob (1) causes stem (5) to move spool (8) to the left. This stops the flow of pressure oil to the parking brake actuator.
This allows the oil in the cavity of the parking brake actuator to flow back to the hydraulic oil tank.

With a decrease in oil pressure for the parking brake circuit, the force of the spring in the parking brake actuator is
greater than the pressure of the oil in the cavity of the parking brake actuator. This allows the spring to engage the
parking brake.

If there is a decrease of hydraulic oil pressure in the service brake circuit during machine operation, the parking brake
control valve will automatically engage the parking brake. If the machine is in either first speed forward or first speed
reverse, the transmission will also shift into the NEUTRAL position.

With a loss of hydraulic oil pressure, the force of spring (10) moves spool (9) to the left. This blocks any flow of oil that
would normally help keep spring (10) compressed. This causes spring retainer (9) and spool (8) to move left. At the same
time, stem (5) also moves to the left.

Detent springs (6) and detent balls (7) move in and out of grooves that are machined into spool (8). This allows the
operator to feel the internal locking mechanism of the parking brake control valve.

initiates a Warning Category 3 alarm. The indications of a Warning Category 3 include the following items: the parking
brake indicator light (11), a flashing action light (12) on the Caterpillar Monitoring System and the action alarm.

The transmission returns to the NEUTRAL position if the transmission is in either first speed forward or first speed
reverse. This will occur when the parking brake engages.

Note: The parking brake can be manually engaged and disengaged when the pressure in the system is above 10300 kPa
(1495 psi). However, if the system pressure is below 10300 kPa (1495 psi), actuation force increases.

Note: If the parking brake is in the DISENGAGED position, the parking brake control valve will move to the
ENGAGED position when the pressure difference between the pressure port and the tank port is approximately 2400 kPa
(350 psi).

Note: Hydraulic tank pressure above 690 kPa (100 psi) may cause stem (5) to extend to the ENGAGED position.

Reference: For additional information on the parking brake control valve, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Brake System
- Testing and Adjusting" for the machine that is being serviced.
