PARK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The performance of this parking
brake depends on the tire used.
Tire size, tread pattern, and tire
pressure are important. Use only
Factory supplied tires and wheels.
Make sure tires are infl ated to the
proper pressure.
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and remove key.
2. Disengage the park brake.
3. Adjust the linkage rod attached to the left
brake until the clearance between the
brake arm and the tire tread measures .25
inch to .5 inch with the park brake disen-
gaged (see Fig. 15).
4. Repeat step 3 for the right side.
5. Engage and disengage park brake to
check for proper engagement and disen-
gagement. Readjust if necessary.
6. Be sure all cotter pins and jam nuts are
secured.
7. Make sure the brake light is on when the
park brake is set. If the brake lever does
not contact the safety switch, adjust the
switch in the mounting slots so it does.
