Spartan directions to activate the spbs incorrectly state to "Pull" the actuation knob, when it should say "Push."
The short version
Spartan Motors USA reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.
The directions to activate the SPBS incorrectly state to "Pull" the actuation knob, when it should say "Push."
If the operator follows the incorrect directions and believes that the supplemental front park brake is applied when it is not, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of a crash.
Spartan will notify owners and supply a new actuator control knob with the correct directions, free of charge.
