PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
a) Inspection
Hold center parking brake lever grip and pull it up.
Pulling force: 20 – 25 kg (44 – 55 lbs)
10 – 15 kg (22 – 30 lbs)
With parking brake lever pulled up as above, count ratchet notches
in "A" as shown in figure.
There should be 3 to 5 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds that ratch-
et makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing its but-
ton.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable by referring
to adjustment procedure described on the following step b) so as
to obtain specified parking brake stroke.
NOTE:
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or wear. If any dam-
age or wear is found, replace parking brake lever.
