  1. Ensure service brakes are properly adjusted. Back off parking brake cable and allow slack in cable. Clean and lubricate cable threads. Using adjusting tool (C-3784) and a thin screwdriver inserted in brake adjusting hole to disengage adjusting lever, rotate star wheel to obtain light contact between brake shoe and drum.
  2. Back off star wheel until no drag is felt. Adjust parking brake cable adjuster nut until a slight drag is felt while rotating rear wheels. Now loosen adjusting nut until wheels just turn free, then back off nut 2 full turns. Apply and release parking brake several times to make sure rear wheels do not drag.
