Parking brake system
Wheel parking brake, affecting the brake shoes of rear wheels
(Fig. 9.27).
WARNING! After the motor vehicle stops, apply the parking
brake.
When parking the motor vehicle during cold seasons do not
apply the parking brake after driving on a wet road, thereby pre-
venting the shoes from freezing to the drums. Instead, shift into the
rst or the reverse gear (any position of the transfer case lever,
except for neutral position) and put wheel wedges as required.
The wheel parking brake is equipped with the system, which
compensates wear of the friction linings automatically, and
should not be adjusted during the motor vehicle operation.
However, to ensure normal operation of the brake, check the
drive cables and adjust them to compensate their tightening
and loosening during operation.
Adjust the parking brake drive, when the travel of the brake
lever is more than 6 clicks of the lever pawl and braking effect is
insufcient.
WARNING! Use a pit or a hoist for adjustment.
Adjust the parking brake drive as follows:
1. Check the air gaps correctness between the brake shoes and
the rear brakes drums: press hard the brake pedal several times
while the parking brake drive lever is lowered to its extreme
position.
2. Lift the rear part of the motor vehicle and put secure struts
under it.
3. Set the parking brake lever 3 in the lower position (Fig. 9.27).
4. Compress the drive by tightening the lever with a force of
min. 400 N (40 kgf) 2–3 times.
5. Turn nuts 4 and 6 and choose the slack of cables 1, 7, 8. Keep
the following sizes: G =1 mm (min), D =35 mm (min), and keep
the difference of sizes M and N max. 6 mm (Fig. 9.36). While
choosing the slack of cables do not move levers 9.
