I have a question regarding the so called dead man switch, is this the switch that will disactivate/prevent brakes from working?
and I think its important for operators to know or be thought/reminded that if the brakes fail upon releasing taking foot off the brake pedal the plugging should still work but this is providing the brake pedal is held down only.
