I won a 14 ton bolster trailer today. I plan to use the frame, tongue, & lunette but will ditch the axles in a future poject.

I want to pick up the trailer with the Deuce. This trailer is normally towed by a 5 ton. It appears to have air brakes.
My question for the trailer experts is this:
Are the trailer spring brakes automatically on? If so, how do I release them to allow the trailer to be towed behind the Deuce? I don't have to go far as I won it at a local GL location. And once I get it home it's getting different axles.
But I'm not sure how to get it from GL to home (maybe 15-20 miles). I don't mind pulling it without brakes, empty, really slow. But if the air brakes automatically lock when parked them I'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks.
