Translations:Handbrake/1/en

All vehicles come equipped with a handbrake, typically manually operated by one or more yellow cranks. Handbrakes are used to override the brake shoes to a desired braking force, regardless of the air brakes settings. Because they’re not operated by air pressure, handbrakes are immune to leaks in the system and therefore have permanent effect. They are used on parked vehicles to ensure that they remain still.
