Parking Brake

  1. Properly adjusted parking brake lever stroke at 44 (20 kg) lbs. should be 5-7 notches (clicks). If not, remove console box and release brake lever. Adjust cable adjusting nuts, allowing enough slack in cables to prevent brake shoe drag. See Fig 1 .
  2. Loosen parking brake switch mounting bolt. Adjust switch until indicator light goes out when brake lever is fully released and light comes on when lever is pulled one notch. Ensure rear brakes do not drag with brake lever released.
