Traction Lock
Removal and Installation
Avoid Injury Or Death
Do not modify the electrical wiring connected to the traction lock solenoid or any part of the traction lock system. The traction lock provides the locking function of the parking brake. Service work on the traction locksystem should only be performed by a qualified technician. Use only genuine Melroe parts if repair is necessary.
W–2165–0195
Raise the loader operator cab. (See Page 1–1.)
