PARKING MECHANISM
A parking mechanism in a vehicle includes a parking gear, a parking piston, a parking rod, a parking pawl, and a locking lever. The parking gear is coupled to a drive shaft. The parking piston is moved between parking and non-parking position. The parking piston has a locking groove. The parking rod is moved in conjunction with movement of the parking piston. The parking pawl engages with and stops engaging with the parking gear in accordance with a move position of the parking rod. The locking lever includes first and second engagement portions. The first engagement portion engages with the locking groove when the parking piston is moved to the parking position. The second engagement portion engages with the locking groove when the parking piston is moved to the non-parking position. The locking lever selectively locks the parking piston in the parking and non-parking position.
Hydraulic trailer brake circuit for adjustable gain and improved stability
A braking system of a work machine includes a pressurized fluid supply, a base valve fluidly coupled to the supply, a proportional control valve fluidly coupled to the supply, and a fluid output configured to be fluidly coupled to a braking system of a trailer. A first fluid path is selectively fluidly coupling the supply to the fluid output via the base valve, and a second fluid path is selectively fluidly coupling the supply to the fluid output via the proportional control valve. The base valve includes a predefined fixed gain and the proportional control valve includes an adjustable ratio.
