Brake - Disabling Parking Brake - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

• When towing a motorhome equipped with the HWH Air-Leveling
System, the ignition MUST be left in the ON position so the air
suspension will operate. If the ignition system is not functioning,
or if chassis voltage is below specification, the motorhome must
be placed on a lowboy/landall trailer to prevent suspension damage.
WARNING: In case the motorhome requires towing, ensure all
precautions are followed. The drive shaft must be disconnected
and the mud flap may need to be removed. The manufacturer
WILL NOT cover damage to the motorhome caused by a towing
company.
Chock the wheels securely prior to disabling (caging) the park
brake. This procedure is for emergency conditions only. Exhaust
all other means of releasing the brakes prior to performing this
procedure.

• Remove the plug from the center of rear brake
chamber on the drive axle.
• Remove the caging tool from its holder on the
brake chamber and insert the tool into hole.

• Screw nut and washer onto caging tool. Use a
wrench to tighten the nut compressing the

available, loosen the nut and remove the tool.
Return the caging tool to its original location

WARNING: Failure to securely chock
the wheels can result in the motorhome
rolling when the spring brakes are
released. Severe injury or death can
