FIGURE 1 - PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

To obtain adequate parking brake holding ability, the distance between X and Y should be a minimum of 12 mm (1/2 inch). If this distance is less than
12 mm (1/2 inch) the front parking brake cable #4 should be replaced.

Removal

1.

Disconnect battery.

2.

Remove locking screw in adjusting knob (if equipped).

3.

With the parking brake lever in the full apply position, remove all adjustment by rotating knob (#7 Figure 1) on the parking brake lover
counter clockwise until the "snap-over-center", when the brake is applied, disappears.
