3.12 Deadman brake. The trucks shall have an adjustable braking system for the steer wheels designed on the deadman principle so that the brake must be manually held off by the truck operator to move the truck with loaded or empty forks. The brake shall be automatically applied when the brake handle is released. The deadman braking system shall provide positive braking action as required by 3.23.

3.13 Brake handle/levers. Handles or levers shall allow the use of a mittened glove, gloved and ungloved hands. Maximum handle reach shall not exceed 3.5 inches. The maximum sustained (holding position with brake off) holding distance shall be 1.5 to 2.0 inches. The handle force required to release the brakes shall not exceed 25 pounds. The sustained (holding) force shall not exceed 6 pounds. When brakes are fully disengaged, no additional force will be transferred to the brake mechanism during load transport.

3.14 Brake hardware. Brake components shall be manufactured from non-corrosive materials or have protective non-removable coatings that prevent corrosion from the salt air environment. Brake actuating components and hardware shall be fully protected from damage from adjacent pallets, materials or operators during use.

Brake mechanisms shall have provisions for component adjustment to compensate for wear. Brake mechanisms shall have provisions for lubrication without disassembly of parts or assemblies. Brake components extending beyond the steering wheel diameter shall be protected by guards.

3.15 Lift points. Four lifting points (eyes) conforming to MIL- STD-209 shall be provided and accommodate a hook of 1.63 inches inside diameter and 1.63 inches throat. All lift positions shall be located within the general outline of the truck and shall not extend beyond the inboard edge of either fork.

3.16 Lifting operation. The lift mechanism shall be capable of raising and lowering a 48 in. by 40 in., four way entry, post construction wooden pallet conforming to MIL-P-15011 and a pallet conforming to MIL-P-23312 carrying the rated capacity to the truck.

The number of strokes, and the force required to lift the rated load to a position where the top surfaces of the forks are 4.00 inches minimum above their fully lowered position shall not exceed the values in Table I.

The topcoat shall be resistant to impact and abrasion (preferably a urethane type) applied to a dry film thickness of 3 mils minimum. The finish color shall be 13538 in accordance with FED-STD-595. Primer and finish coats shall be applied in accordance with normal commercial practices to assure complete coverage. The finish coat, when dry, shall be a smooth even surface, free from runs, sags, peels, chips, blisters, areas of thin film or no film. Surfaces of components and assemblies of the truck, not normally painted with a finish coat, shall be cleaned and protected in accordance with good commercial practice.

Paint must be kept off working surfaces where interference with working parts would result. The steer handle may be painted black.
