CONTROLS AND OPERATION
Push this knob in and pull out the Maxibrake control
knob (item 17) if it becomes necessary to use the air in
the emergency air tank to release the Maxibrakes.
CAUTION
The carrier will have no brakes,
except the Maxibrakes, which are
controlled by the Maxibrake control
valve. Never move the carrier farther
than is absolutely necessary under
these conditions, and avoid steep
grades. Make certain that this knob
is pulled out at all time during normal
operation.
17. MAXIBRAKE CONTROL VALVE. Pull this knob out
to release the Maxibrakes. Push this knob in to vent air
from the Maxibrake chambers and apply the Maxibrakes.
