1. Free-Wheeling Valve - Turning the valve knob
(counterclockwise) to a fully opened position
allows fluid to flow through the wheel motors, thus
providing “free-wheeling” so that the aerial platform
can be pushed, towed or winched after the brakes
are released without damaging the wheel motors.
The Free-wheeling valve MUST be closed tightly
(clockwise) for normal operation.
Note
Refer to “section 2-26” For Winching and Towing

always mechanically engaged until hydraulically or
manually released.
Figure 2-10. Parking Brake
A pin retracted by a single-acting hydraulic cylinder
disengages each brake disc when driving. Remove the
Cotter Pin and Stabilizer Lock Pin and fully extend each
stabilizer. A spring inside each cylinder returns the pin
to engage the brake disc for parking, lifting, lowering
and stationary steering. The brake pin MUST be manu-
ally disengaged for towing, pushing or winching.
