BLEEDING THE PARKING BRAKE:
If the parking brake hydraulic lines are disconnected for any reason, the lines will have to be
bled. This is done by using the bleed ports for the parking brakes located on the top of the rear
axle. Before working on the parking brake system, set the outriggers or chock the wheels, to
prevent rolling. The bleeding must be done with the engine running and the parking brake
switch in the OFF position. It may require several repetitions to remove all of the air. In be-
tween each repetition, turn the brake ON for about 30 seconds.
MANUAL PARKING BRAKE RELEASE:
Before working on the parking brake, set the outriggers or chock the wheels, to prevent rolling.
Find the manual park brake release bolts on the axle. There are two bolts on each side of the
axle differential. Turn the release bolts clockwise until fully seated. Do NOT use an impact
wrench to run these bolts in. Once the bolts are fully run in, the parking brake will be released.
To reset the parking brake to normal operation, be sure to fully back the release bolts out to
their orginal location.
TRANSMISSION TROUBLESHOOTING
If the transmission does not function properly, there are several simple checks that may reveal
the cause. Try these checks first, before making a service call.
NOTICE
For transmission service or overhaul, which is beyond the scope of this manual, please
call your Broderson dealer or the Broderson Service Department to have a Dana service
representative contact you.
1. If transmission feels like it is slipping, check the transmission oil level. High or low level
can cause problems. If air bubbles are in the oil and the oil level is not too high, there may
be a leak in the suction line of the transmission pump.
2. If the transmission fluid is overheating, it may be caused by plugged radiator fins, dirty
fluid, or using too high a gear. Drain the transmission, remove the filter and suction
screen, check them for excessive contamination, and save the contaminants for further
examination.
3. Check the electrical connectors on the transmission solenoids. The solenoids are located
on the side of the transmission in a valve body, which is on the machine (to the right of
transmission).
