Narrative

The slope car was pushed back on the bottom which set parking brakes. No one realized the brakes had been set which drained the battery. Battery was replaced but contact tips were stuck. Circuit would not clear so the contacts had to be replaced before car could be used. The car was back in operation at 11:15 pm on 8-28-07.
