Method for Releasing Spring Brake
Please refer to the specific configurations of your vehicle.
Where the vehicle cannot be released from parking brake and cannot start, it
may be caused by the pressure drop of spring brake air chamber, which makes the
spring brake operate automatically. In such case, check the pipeline system or valves
for air leakage first; and timely eliminate the leakage, if any. If the elimination is not
possible, please contact a Technical Service Center (Station) authorized by DONG-
FENG COMMERCIAL VEHICLE CO.,LTD..
