We have two (2) RR5XXX (5000 & 5200) Reach Trucks that do not have batteries. We would like to cage the brakes so we can tow these units. I have read here and elsewhere about tightening bolts to release the brakes. I do not see any apparent bolts, nor openings to bolts at the Traction Brake. Can someone explain in detail and/or provide image(s) showing how? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
