Just a quick question. Does the emergency lever only have an on or and off mode? If the chain somehow gets loose can it pull the lever to an half open position?

On mine it pushes again the actuator so it can push with not enough force to hold the breaks down if something temporarily snags it a bit. With that said there is a point of no return. If the lever gets pulled hard enough moving it forward enough there is a bracket that will snap behind it preventing the lever from removing pressure from the master cylinder. I presume this is to keep the breaks on incase everything breaks away from the truck.

Thanks, I think you are saying that it works with a full on or off position by being locked on when the bracket locks on. This sounds like the correct logic to me.
