4.8 PARKING BRAKE RELEASE VALVE __________________________________________
The Parking Brake Release Valve is situated under the operator platform, on the left hand
side of chassis plate. The Parking Brake Release Valve is used to release the parking
brake when the engine is not in operation.
The Parking brake is released with the hand wheel (A) turned completely to the right
(clockwise), after you release lock wheel (B). Use the hand pump (C) to create enough
pressure to release the brakes (50 to 60 strokes will give 90 seconds of brake release).
When complete, rotate the hand wheel (A) to the left (counter clockwise) completely and
lock with wheel (B).
This method of brake release is to recover the vehicle a short distance only and should be
carried out on level ground.
