Just recently started working on a forklift, i don't seem to have a parking brake where the normal handle is. I've looked on the bellhousing on the starter side and haven't found anywhere that a cable or lever could pass through to actuate the shoe on the inside.
My machine has a two-piece bellhousing, but the service manual i find online (granted, for a c30b) shows a one-piece design in the diagram for the parking brake. There are other maintenace items I'd like to cross of the list too, so idealy a service manual is what i'm looking for.
IF i can't find where the original brake goes, has anyone ever dealt with putting a "line-lock" solenoid on the brakes to act as a parking brake? I know i would have to find either a normally closed solenoid or use a normally open, put chocks under the wheels, then de-energize the solenoid.
Any help is much appreciated, thank you!
