3.3. With the park brake unlocked, measure and note the distance from the top of the accelerator pedal
to the floorboard, then lock the park brake (Figure 5-14, Page 5-13).
3.4. With the park brake locked, make sure at least 75% of ratchet tooth length engages the pawl
(Figure 5-15, Page 5-13). Tooth engagement should be between the two lines marked on the pawl.

3.5. With park brake still locked, measure the distance from the top of accelerator pedal to floorboard.
If the measurement has changed, ratchet tooth engagement is too deep and must be adjusted.
3.6. If ratchet/pawl engagement must be adjusted, disconnect the ball joint at the top of the brake rod
and rotate the ball joint sleeve clockwise to increase engagement or counterclockwise to decrease
engagement. Reconnect ball joint (Figure 5-16, Page 5-14).
3.7. If the accelerator push rod was disconnected from the accelerator pedal, reconnect it.
3.8. Check for proper brake operation prior to driving the vehicle.
