Hi all my bomag 80 roller brakes are stuck on AV traced the problem to the plug that connects to the brake solenoid there seems to be a capacitor of some sort inside the plug and when a bypass this the brakes release is it safe to bypass this?
A was figuring if a put a manual switch on it with a fuse a could still have a brake just wasn't sure if the thing inside the plug that am bypassing was some kind of safety for the actual solenoid itself
Maybe, depends on where you’re running it.
If it’s on a steep grade I wouldn’t.
I was on a Bomag roller and the brakes stopped working one time.
Only machine I ever rolled.
