3. Block the wheels adequately to prevent the
combine from running.
4. Remove rubber cap 1.

5. Remove cotter pin 2 and screw on nut 3 until the
handbrake piston is completely pulled backward
to release the pressure on the brake disc.
DANGER
Be aware that the emergency brake does not operate
when the brake is manually disengaged. Repair as
soon as possible to restore correct operation. In the
meantime, use wheel edges to prevent the combine
from running away whenever parked.
