Brake Pedal – RA828-005-573

Foot pressure on this brake pedal is what starts every stop, transferring the operator's input through its pivot and linkage into the truck's braking system. It mounts at the operator's station and pivots on a fixed point, so each press travels through the connecting rod or linkage to actuate the brakes and returns to rest when the foot lifts.

The pedal arm and its pivot take repeated loading through every shift, and the pivot point and the pad face are where wear shows first, which is why a cracked or worn pedal gets replaced rather than repaired. As a braking-system control it belongs to the same service group a technician works through when restoring pedal feel and travel. Replacing a damaged pedal keeps foot travel consistent and the linkage properly seated, so the operator gets a predictable braking response every time.
