Parking/Emergency Brake: Capri

  1. Ensure parking brake lever is released. Remove parking brake console. Loosen parking brake cable lock nut. Loosen or tighten adjusting nut so parking brake begins to apply when lever is pulled up 5 notches and is fully applied at 7-11 notches.
  2. Using Spring Scale (T74P-3504-Y), check force required to apply parking brake. A properly operating system will require 44 lb. (97 kg) of force to fully apply parking brakes. Tighten lock nut. Ensure brake warning light operates when parking brake lever is raised.
