HANDBRAKE
ADJUSTMENT
In order to allow the self-adjusting
mechanism to
function normally, the cable should be tensioned so
that the handbrake lever will travel 6 notches on the
ratchet quadrant to apply the rear brakes when new;
10 notches after break-in.
An adjustment with a travel of more than 12 notches
will unmesh lever (L) and upset the self-adjusting
mechanism.

ADJUSTING
• Place the vehicle on a hoist and release the
handbrake (safety blocks in position).
