Topic: 36 emergency brake

  When the emergency (parking brake) is fully engaged it activates the brake lights. I can see the foot brake petal move down just a little when at the same time. What adjustments do I need to examine to correct this problem? I have been throwing the battery disconnect switch to avoid battery discharge.

  The switch has slotted holes for the screws and should be adjustable.

  The brake pedal needs to have a return spring to keep it in the upright position when emergency is used. This is a seperate spring than the one that controls the brake equilzer unit.

  the clevis at the brake cross shaft 48-2466 has an elongated hole for the pin, so the cross shaft can move without moving the brake pedal.
