EMERGENCY ACTION
TOWING
Parking Brake Mechanical
Release (Drum Brakes)
The parking brake can be released
mechanically if compressed air is not
available.
• Remove the cap on the end of the
parking brake cylinder. Remove the
t-bolt from the canister by loosening
the nut, and insert into the hole
matching the slots on canister to t-
bolt. The bolt needs to be turned 1/4
turn and then securely tighten the
nut.
• Remember to remove the t-bolt and
secure in its original location, and
put the protective cap back on the
parking brake cylinder when towing
is completed.
NOTE
Do not remove the split pins from designs
which have a split pin. Instead unscrew
the screw and nut together.
