Parking Brake

NOTE: Adjustment of rear brakes will normally provide satisfactory parking brake adjustment.

If cables are stretched, further adjustment is performed as follows: Hoist vehicle in rear, release parking brake and lock both rear wheels with adjusters. Disconnect return springs from backing plate and remove clevis pin from lever. Adjust clevis on each brake (equal amounts). Cables are too tight if clevis pins cannot be easily inserted into clevis and relay lever. Secure clevis pins, reconnect return springs and adjust cable brackets to provide slight spring tension. Adjust rear brake shoes.
