  1. Ensure service brakes are properly adjusted. Back off parking brake cable adjustment until it is slack. Clean and lubricate cable threads. Using Adjuster (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. Loosen adjusting nut until wheels just turn freely, then back off nut 2 full turns. Apply and release parking brake several times to ensure rear wheels DO NOT  drag.
