CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTcircuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.
