Hand-Operated Parking Brake
On all vehicles, a parking brake control lever is located to the left of the steering column. To apply the parking brake, depress the brake pedal, then pull up on the parking brake lever. To release the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and push the parking brake lever all the way down.
Important: Take care to hold on to the parking brake lever while releasing it. Do NOT allow the lever to slam down while releasing it.
Notice: Overtightening of the knob can lead to cable breakage and/or damage to the knob and lever.
If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle securely, depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake. Turn the knob on the end of the lever clockwise to increase the parking brake application.
If the parking brake still doesn't hold the vehicle securely (after adjustment), check the brake lining thickness. For instructions, see Group 42 of the Shuttle Bus Chassis Maintenance Manual.
