The handbrake is a multi-stroke ratchet type. To apply the handbrake give the handle short
pumps (a clicking of the ratchet will be heard) until resistance occurs and subsequent tightening of
the cable. To release the handbrake give the handle one sharp movement in the opposite
direction This releases the ratchet mechanism.
