Caging your air brakes, to tow a bus that's not running.

I needed to cage the spring brakes on a Freightliner skoolie conversion bus, to prepare it for a tow. Caging is the process of using a special bolt to release the spring brakes on a bus or truck with air brakes, so that the parking brake is held off. This releases the parking brakes and lets you move the bus, if it's not running or won't build air pressure.

Keep in mind...if you do this, your bus has no brakes holding it in position...so, block/chock the wheels and be safe when you move it. Caging the brakes is only done to tow a bus - never try to drive a vehicle with the spring brakes caged. Don't get dead.
