Parking Brake - 2 and 3 Tonne (Including Swing Models)
The parking brake facility is incorporated into the brakes of the
front axle and is self compensating.
The parking brake lever fitted, is of the over centre type, and
if incorrectly adjusted can place excessive load on brake cable
Adjustment
z If the cable requires adjustment remove the plastic hand grip
and slacken the locking grub screw.
z Turn the hand lever nut in a clockwise direction until the
correct adjustment is achieved. Retighten the grub screw and
replace the plastic grip.
z If further handbrake cable adjustment is required use adjuster
nuts on the front axle
From March 2001
The handbrake linkage on the axle should be set up as shown in
the diagram. When fitting the locknuts to the cable, approximately
5mm of thread should protrude through the locknuts.
When this linkage has been set up, the adjustment should be
carried out from the handbrake lever as described above.
