Emergency Brakes: Handle returns to "un-brake position"

[Keith True]

For whatever reason,the moving pawl has jumped up over the fixed pawl.Not sure how it happened,but there it is.Go to the opposite side of the pivot,towards the drivers foot,and take the pinch bolt out.Slide the lever through the cast pivot until the ratchet pawls clear each other.Turn the moving pawl down to where they will engage,and slide it all back together.Then track down as to whay it happened.I suspect the parking brake was adjusted too loosely,and when somebody pushed their thumb on the button and pulled to release it,the pawl just popped up over the fixed part.Nobody actually did anything to break it.
