Parking Brake

Make sure the service brakes are adjusted and the opera-
tion of the automatic adjuster mechanism is correct before
the parking brake is adjusted.
Lift trucks with a pedal:
A switch energizes the seat warning circuit when the hand
lever is released. This switch puts the transmission in NEU-
TRAL by de-energizing the direction solenoid. There is also
a switch on the left-hand side of bracket. This switch pre-
vents engine from starting unless parking brake is applied.
NOTE: Make sure parking brake is released before making
adjustment.
To adjust the parking brake, do the following:
1. Turn the adjustment knob as shown in Figure 41. Do not
tighten the adjustment so that the brake is applied when
the lever is released. The lever for the parking brake has a
lock. Use your thumb or finger to release the lock on the
lever when the parking brake is released.
2. For burnished brakes, test the operation of the parking
brake. The lift truck, with a capacity load, must not move
when parking brake is applied on a 15% grade. A 15%
grade is a slope that increases 1.5 m in 10 m (1.5 ft
increase in 10 ft).
