USING THE PARKING BRAKE
This section describes how to release and engage the Parking Brake. It also describes how to
restore hydraulic pressure to release the brakes, if the normal procedure does not work.
5.3.1
APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE
To apply the Parking Brake, you may either:
• Push the red Main Power Disconnect Switch on the Center Console down to the OFF
position. The red Brake Pressure Warning Switch will either turn or remain OFF.
• Pull the amber Parking Brake Knob out. The red Brake Pressure Warning Light will
illuminate.
You will typically apply the Parking Brake as follows:
•
During operation:
You will pull the Parking Brake Knob out but leave the Main Power
Disconnect Switch ON. The red Brake Pressure Warning Light will illuminate.
•
When securing from operation
: You will pull the Parking Brake Knob out and push the
Main Power Disconnect Switch down to the OFF position. The red Brake Pressure Warning
Switch will either turn or remain OFF.
5.3.2
RELEASING THE BRAKE
To release the Parking Brake:
1. If needed, move the Direction Selector to the NEUTRAL position.
2. Pull the Main Power Disconnect Switch on the Center Console to the ON position.
3. Turn the Motive Power Switch on the right side of the Console Control Assembly to the ON
position.
> The red Brake Pressure Warning Light is ON when the Brake is applied.
4. Push the amber Parking Brake Knob on the Center Console down to release the Brake.
5. Verify that the Brake Pressure Warning Light is OFF.
If this procedure does not release the Parking Brake and the Brake Pressure Warning Light
remains ON, this indicates a loss of hydraulic brake pressure. See
