There should be no fraying, cuts or bends in the brake cables (C in Figure-4). If they are out of adjustment, and/or
the caliper arm hits the metal bracket when engaged (Figure-5), see Adjustment.

1. See Lower Seat Removal under Accessing the Mudd-Ox to remove the front lower operator seat.
2. Pull up on the parking brake lever and count the number clicks (Figure-1):

B. Less than 5-6 clicks: The brakes are too tight. You must loosen them.

3. Start with the left side brake caliper. On the caliper, facing the inside of the Mudd-Ox, is an adjustment bolt with
jam nut. Use an 11/16” wrench to loosen the jam nut (Figure-7 shows the caliper removed).
4. Use a 7/16” wrench to adjust. Write down the number of rotations on the adjustment nut for later use in adjust-
ing the right side caliper:
A. More than 5-6 clicks: Turn the adjustment bolt clockwise.
B. Less than 5-6 clicks: Turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise.
5. Now simply tighten the jam nut that you loosened in step #3.
6. Repeat steps #3-5 for passenger side.
If there is not enough adjustment on the calipers for 5-6 clicks, move on to Part 2.
