Trailer Brake Hand Control
The trailer hand brake control is not a parking
brake valve and must not be used as one. This
brake is not designed to hold the vehicle
stationary. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in the unintentional movement of the vehicle
and may cause personal injury or death.
DO NOT use the trailer brake hand control as a
parking brake. The brakes could release and the
vehicle could roll, causing a vehicle accident,
personal injury or death.
The hand control valve for the trailer brakes engages the trailer brakes
independently from the vehicle brakes. The valve can be fully or
partially engaged but in any partial position it will be overridden by a full
application of the foot brake valve.
To supply air to the trailer brakes to slow the trailer down, pull the valve
handle down. The farther the handle is pulled down, the more air
pressure is applied to the trailer brakes. Releasing the self-returning
handle releases the trailer brakes.
