Park Brake Control
WARNING
Park brake is spring type. If there is not
enough pressure in the air tanks, park
brake will not be released from the
control lever.
There shall be enough air pressure on
the tanks to release the brake. If it is not
possible to provide the air required,
you may discharge the brake by rotating
the spring of the setting bolt on the park
brake bellows.
Before releasing the park brake spring,
ensure the safety of your vehicle by
chocking the wheels. Do not drive the
vehicle if any park brake circuits are
not working. Bellows may be frozen if
the brakes cannot be released while
the lever is released on winter. Spring

installation bolt in the tightening
direction. To ensure that the emergency
spring is fully installed, the setting bolt
shall be tightened until it does not turn
any more.
