RJ-2146-0

For the vehicles with hand-operated brake systems, the brake link plate and shaft, which actuate the brake, may not be welded suficiently strong. Therefore, if the brake arm is pushed while the vehicle is not in motion, that welded section may crack. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may progress, and in the worst case, fracture could occur and the system could lose its braking power.
