The parking brake control is a yellow, diamond-shaped,
push-pull control knob. Pull the knob out to set the brake,
and push in to release.
Any time you park, use the parking brake, except:
»
if
the brakes are very hot. Brake system components can
be damaged by excessive heat.
»
in freezing temperatures,
if
the brakes are very wet. The
brake shoes on your motor home cover a large surface
area. If they become very wet and freeze to the brake
drums, the motor home will not be able to move until
they thaw. If the brakes freeze, DO NOT try to force the
motor home to move. Brake system components could
be damaged.
If necessary, use wheel chocks to hold the vehicle. Let hot
brakes cool before using the parking brake. If the brakes are
wet, use the brakes lightly while driving in a low gear to heat
and dry them.
