Cat 262B serial #PDT03661 Parking brake light is flashing and machine is not mobile. I need help getting the brake released to get the machine on the trailer. What is my easiest way to get the brake released or get the machine loaded? Help! Geno

    Until the problem is fixed the brake cannot be released. Some people suggest removing the drive chains or unbolting the chain sprockets in order to get a problematic machine to roll. If you want a link to fixing the problem click HERE . The linked thread contains all the information, troubleshooting, and testing procedures that will help you find the root cause of the problem. I know it is for a 226B but the same document, schematics, and procedures are applicable to your 262B.

    If you have any questions please ask. Take careful note of a few posts on the linked thread where an error was found in the troubleshooting procedure. This caused a bit of head scratching until it was identified.
