PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
There are two adjustment points on your vehicle’s parking brake assembly, the parking brake actuator and the
cable slack. Refer to the photos on the following page. To adjust the assembly:
1. Place chocks or blocks in front and in back of the front wheels to prevent the car from rolling.
2. Place the parking brake handle in the forward-most position and put the car in neutral.
3. Jack up the rear of your Atom until the rear wheels are clear of the ground.
4. Place safety stands under the car.
5. Ensure that the car is stable.
6. Make sure that there is a little slack in the cables where they exit their covers at the rear of the car near
the rear axle.
7. Take a 1/4 in. Allen wrench and turn the internal hex bolt in the center of the large end of the parking
brake application lever clockwise until the wheel cannot be turned by hand. (Track & Race package.)
8. Turn the Allen bolt counter-clockwise about 1/16 of a turn. At this point the parking brake is initialized
and the cables can be adjusted.
9. Loosen the locknut on the cable housings with a 9/16 in. wrench and screw the adjuster barrel counter-
clockwise until there is less than 1/2 in. of vertical slack in the cable.
10. Tighten the locknut while holding the cable housing stable with a 1/2 in. wrench.
