Manual Disengage Procedure
NOTE: Applies only to:
USA machines built prior to S/N 0200118041,
Belgium machines built prior to S/N 1200001487.
In the event of a power loss to the Torque-Hub, the park-
ing brake will engage as a safety precaution. Should the
unit need to be towed or pushed to an area where it can
be serviced or recharged the operator will need to man-
ually disengage the parking brakes. The following pro-
cedure outlines how this is to be done.
IF THE MACHINE IS ON ANY INCLINE, THE WHEELS MUST BE
ADEQUATELY BLOCKED PRIOR TO MANUALLY DISENGAGING
THE BRAKES. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR
EVEN DEATH.
1. Remove the 3 brake cover bolts from the back end
of the motor.
2. Remove brake cover.
3. Locate the 2 disengage bolts that are stored in the
motor end-cap.
4. Remove these bolts and insert them into the two
holes in the brake housing.
5. Tighten down bolts and the brake will disengage.
6. Repeat this procedure for the other wheel drive.
CAUTION
THE DISENGAGE BOLTS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE
HOUSING AFTER THE MACHINE IS TOWED OR PUSHED TO ITS
SERVICING LOCATION. THE BRAKES CAN NOT BE ENGAGED
WITH THE DISENGAGE BOLTS IN THE BRAKE HOUSING. THIS
WILL CAUSE THE MACHINE TO ROLL WHEN PARKED ON AN
INCLINE.
