MECHANICAL RELEASE OF SPRING BRAKE (GOLD SEAL)

WARNING

•

DO NOT attempt to mechanically release (cage) the spring on a spring brake if it shows structural

damage. Caging the spring or disassembly of the chamber may result in the forceful release of the

spring chamber and its contents, which could cause death, severe personal injury, and/or property

damage. Remove complete spring brake and replace with new unit.

•

DISARM spring chamber before discarding old brake. To disarm, use a suitable safety chamber

(see

Disarming Introduction

and

Disarming Instructions

in this work package). Failure to disarm

assembly prior to disposal may, in time, result in spontaneous release of the spring chamber and its

contents, causing death, personal injury, and/or property damage.

NOTE

There are no safety ears or clamp on a sealed type brake.
