Disabling the parking brake

If there is no other way of releasing the parking brake or if the vehicle needs to
be towed some distance, the parking brake can be disabled using the release
bolt in the spring brake chamber.
WARNING!
When the parking brake is put out of action in this way, there is no parking
brake function. The vehicle must therefore be prevented from rolling before
the release bolts are unscrewed. Use a towing bar when towing.
Unscrew the release bolt until the parking brake is fully released on the
relevant wheel.
WARNING!
When the release bolts are screwed out, the vehicle has no parking brake on
the wheels where the release bolt has been screwed out. Therefore, use
wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
