This unit is equipped with wet oil-cooled disc brakes made up of a series of plates and friction discs. After applying the brakes and letting off the pedal. the unit will not go forward or reverse. If you open the bleeders at the wheels, and let fluid drip out, sometimes it will release the brakes and travel will return. Why?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
