PARK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: The hydraulic portion of the brake system has an automatically adjusting brake pad system. The park brake
system does not have an automatically adjusting system and requires regular adjustment depending on use.
Rear Caliper Park Brake Lever Adjustment
1. Chock the wheels, release the park brake, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position.
2. Loosen, but do not remove the jam nut on the caliper park brake lever (Figure 6-42, Page 6-25).
3. To adjust, thread in and tighten the adjustment bolt to 80-120 in-lb (9-13.5 N·m). Mark the adjustment bolt head
for orientation. Loosen the adjustment bolt one (1) and one half (1/2) revolutions.
4. Tighten the jam nut on the caliper lever to 80-120 in-lb (9-13.5 N·m) while holding the adjustment bolt stationary.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the opposite park brake assembly.
6. Inspect the brake system to ensure that both the hydraulic brake system and the park brake system are adjusted
and operating correctly before the vehicle is returned to service. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-4.

CAUTION
• Perform the following procedure only on a level surface. To avoid injury or property damage, ensure
that the path of the vehicle is clear before the vehicle is pushed.
NOTE: Adjust rear brake calipers/park brake levers before adjusting park brake cables.
1. Chock the wheels, release the park brake, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position.
2. With the park brake released, remove handle grip and loosen the set screw that locks the adjustment knob at the
end of the park brake handle (Figure 6-22, Page 6-20).
3. Turn the adjustment knob to tighten the park brake cables until the slack is removed.
4. With the vehicle on flat ground and the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, engage the park
brake handle. If the handle can not engage, loosen the cables with the adjustment knob until the handle
engages with moderate effort.
5. Push the vehicle by hand. If the wheels move easily when the vehicle is pushed, continue tightening the
adjustment knob until the vehicle resists rolling easy and firm resistance is achieved. If the knob runs out of
adjustment before the park brake functions properly, use the following procedure:
5.1. At rear caliper, loosen the jam nut while holding the adjustment bolt stationary (Figure 6-42, Page 6-25).
5.2. Tighten adjustment bolt two full revolutions.
5.3. Tighten the jam nut on the caliper lever to 80-120 in-lb (9-13.5 N·m) while holding the adjustment bolt
stationary.
