Emergency Park Brake Drive Through Function

In the event that the parking brake will not disengage and the machine must be moved for
emergency purposes, the machine can be made to "drive through" the engaged park
brake.
WARNING:
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED IN AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION IN ORDER TO AVOID DANGER TO THE
OPERATOR OR TO THE MACHINE. THIS PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PARKING BRAKE COMPONENTS.
1. With the transmission in NEUTRAL and the parking brake switch in the
ENGAGED position, start the engine.
2. Move the parking brake switch to the DISENGAGED position.
3. Depress the inching pedal. The gears 1F and 1R will be displayed on the
Instrument Cluster.
4. Do not upshift or downshift. The active gear must be either gear 1F or 1R.
5. Select a direction and release the inching pedal.
6. Depress the throttle pedal in order to "drive through" the engaged parking brake.
Result: Releasing the inching pedal while depressing the throttle pedal will result in the
machine moving in the selected direction and "driving through" the engaged parking
brake. Move the machine for the shortest possible distance in order to minimize damage
to the parking brake components.
