INSTALLATION

WARNING

Spring brake chamber contains a loaded compression spring and

must be handled with extreme care. Be careful not to drop the spring

break chamber and always work from the side of the unit and not

from the front or back. During removal and installation, do not use

an impact wrench on the release tool or strike any part of the unit for

any reason. Do not attempt to dismantle the spring brake chamber.

Replace the entire unit if any structural damage is evident. Failure to

comply may result in damage to equipment or possible injury or

death to personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of an injury.
