This Safari Zanzibar has juice brakes, and I think your response is in reference to air brakes. Thank you for your response.
Gee, didn't know that for sure, so is the hydraulic system, air assisted or what?
Hydro-max is one of the hydraulically boosted power brake systems. The main source of boost pressure is the power steering pump. (Standard power brakes, of course, are vacuum powered rather than hydraulically powered; but the basic principles are similar.) The Hydro-max system also has a backup electric pump to power the system when the engine isn't running or the belt to the steering pump breaks or some similar calamity strikes.
This is the way my old gas puller worked and for most gas powered, I thought. Just didn't realize that they did this with DP's as well.
Was thinking air and then air over hydraulic, although you did originally say that it was a hydo-max system and must have missed that.
