OPERATION
326
There are several ways to determine if the parking brakes have been
set. By pulling out the yellow knob:
앫 An audible rush of air will be heard when the parking brake knob
is pulled. The air exhausts from the park brake valve itself and
from the spring brake chambers on the rear axle(s).
앫 A black ring around the base of the yellow control knob will be
seen.
앫 The engine will stall if an attempt is made to set the vehicle in
motion.
앫 There will be a fluctuation in the air pressure gauge needles.
앫 The knob cannot be pulled out any further.
DO NOT attempt in any way to disassemble or
tamper with the spring brake chamber. The force
stored in the spring, if suddenly released, can
cause serious personal injury or death.
DO NOT apply the parking brake while the vehicle
is moving. The rear wheels may lock up causing
loss of vehicle control leading to an accident,
personal injury or death.
