ADJUSTING EMERGENCY/PARK
BRAKE (Fig. 36)
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than
one inch of "free travel" of the brake pedal, or when
the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is
the distance the brake pedal moves before braking
resistance is felt.
To reduce free travel of brake pedal:
1. Loosen front nuts on threaded end of brake
cables.
2. Tighten rear nuts to move cable backward
until the pedal has 1/2 to 1 inch of free travel.
3. Tighten front nuts after brake is adjusted
correctly.
NOTE: Both brake cables must be adjusted
simultaneously so that the brake equalizer is
straight after adjustment is made.
