Title: mini-maxi brakes one more time
Post by: silversport on November 14, 2010, 12:25:16 PM
Is there anyone out there who knows how to manually release the brakes of the mini-maxis when you have lost air? Have replaced the diaphragm and they work fine but if the emergency ever arises I would like to know how to release the brakes before crises.

As I understand it all spring brakes release in much the same way as shown.

If you really want to know exactly ask any tow truck driver!
