Equipment Hazard Alert
Failure to Detect Loss of Brake Accumulator Pressure
Recently in Australia, a loader traveling downhill lost its brakes after the engine stalled, causing the operator to lose control. The loader rolled over onto the operator who was crushed between the cab and the ground. It was found that the brake accumulator pressure was too low to provide effective braking, and several of the parking brake components were missing. The brake accumulator pressure and the parking brake provide braking in the event of the engine stopping.
