BRAKE RELEASE VALVE (B) ______________________________________

The brake release valve is situated under the
operators platform and is accessible through the
right door. For normal working the lever should be in
the down position. To release the brakes the lever
should be moved to its uppermost position and the
steering wheel turned to the left to build up pressure.
This occurs almost immediately.
NOTE: The engine cannot be cranked with the lever
in its upper position, but the vehicle parking brake is
still effective in an emergency.
