Handbrake control
The handbrake works on the drive wheels. When the hand
control is in the forward position, with charged air pressure
system and blocking valve depressed (see ”Blocking
valve”) the handbrake is released.
When the control is pulled backwards the handbrake is gradu-
ally engaged and it is fully engaged when the control is in its
rear locked position. Always check that the handbrake is
locked in position.
Articulated buses that have a rigid trailer axle also have a
handbrake on this axle.

Never leave the bus without applying the handbrake

To release the handbrake control from the locked position,
