I have a Hyster H 300 XL that when it is moving forward or backward the air pressure gauge causing the brakes to apply. Any suggestions. Thanks for any help.

    Is it the service brake or park brake that is coming on? If service brake, either there is crud built up under the pedal and keeping it slightly on. Or the brake valve is hanging up. When the valve is all the way up the service port is open to atmosphere and the air is released. If it is applying air to the brake chamber then the valve is either stuck or being held down.

    Thank you, it's the parking brake. When Get all the plates removed for access I will check that out.
