PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION
IMPORTANT
The following should be completed as part of the Pre-Ride Inspection before
the vehicle is operated.
Pull the parking brake lever up firmly
to the engaged position. The ratchet
teeth should be heard and felt as the
locking pawl clicks into place. If the
tenth ratchet tooth has been
engaged, the parking brake should
be promptly adjusted by an
authorized GEM dealer in
accordance with the GEM service
manual.
Shown to the right is a close-up
image of the park brake lever
reaching its hard stop at its
maximum travel position. This is
also the point when the park brake
lever has engaged the tenth ratchet
tooth, indicating that adjustment is
necessary. The rubber park brake
boot has been removed in this
image.
