ANSWER:
The Micro brake lock uses service brake hydraulic pressure to maintain
friction. In Other words, IT IS NOT MECHANICAL It uses the lip seals in
each service brake wheel cylinder to maintain friction. The duty cycle
"limits" of these seals are intermittent in nature and are unreliable for
long duration pressures. in addition, hydraulic brake lines are stressed
and are considered a weak link due to environmental degradation.
