CAUTION: A new retainer must be used when installing the park brake mechanism output cable on the cable tension equalizer. Cable retainer
usage is required to ensure output cable can not separate from tension equalizer.
14. Install a NEW park brake lever output cable to tension equalizer retaining clip on tension equalizer. Cable retainer must be closed and securely
latched.
15. Adjust cable tension for parking brake system using following steps:
^
Position parking brake lever so it is in the fully released position.
^
Tighten adjusting nut on parking brake lever output cable until 26 millimeters of thread is out past top edge of adjustment nut.
^
Actuate parking brake lever to its fully applied position (15 clicks) 1 time and then reposition lever to its fully released position.
