Parking Brake Inspection

2. Refer to Parking Brake Cable Adjustment, page 9.11
if adjustment is necessary. Refer to Parking Brake
Caliper, page 9.12 for brake pad replacement.

Parking Brake Cable Adjustment

When the parking brake is fully engaged and "BRAKE" is
displayed on the instrument cluster, engine speed is
limited to 1500 RPM while in gear. If throttle is applied,
this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects
the parking brake pads from excessive wear.
NOTE: Inspect parking brake cable tension after the
first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours of
operation afterwards to ensure proper cable tension.
Loss of tension in the parking brake cable will cause
illumination of the parking brake indicator and activation
of the limiting feature. If this occurs, inspect and adjust
parking brake cable tension. If performing this service is
difficult due to conditions or location, temporarily
disconnect the parking brake switch electrical connector.
Reconnect the connector as soon as practicable and
adjust the parking brake cable to proper tension.

dash).
