It is possible to remove the parking brake without removing the transmission. It is recommended that the parking brake area, transmission, fuel tank and swivel area be steam cleaned prior to any service work. This will reduce the possibility of contaminants entering the systems during the removal and installation of the parking brake.1. Move the machine to a flat, dry working area. Articulate the machine completely to the right thus exposing the left side of the machine and the fuel tank.2. Engage the parking brake. Block the front and rear tires.3. Release the hydraulic system pressure. Refer to the topic "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release" in this module. Although it is not required, it may be desirable to drain the right hydraulic oil tank to prevent loss of fluid because of the number and position of hydraulic lines which must be disconnected. Drain the hydraulic oil into a suitable container for storage or disposal. The capacity of the tank is 174 liters (45 U.S. gal). 4. Disconnect and plug hose assembly (1) from parking brake (2). 5.
