Adjust Park Brake Ratchet/Pawl Gap and Pawl Engagement - All Vehicles, Continued:
2.3. With the park brake locked, make sure that at least 75% of ratchet tooth length engages the pawl
(Figure 6-22).
2.4. With the park brake still locked, again measure the distance from the top of the accelerator pedal
to the floorboard. If the measurement has changed, ratchet tooth engagement is too deep and
must be adjusted.
2.5. If ratchet/pawl engagement must be adjusted, disconnect the ball joint at the top of the brake
brake rod and rotate the ball joint sleeve clockwise to increase engagement or counterclockwise
to decrease engagement. Reconnect ball joint (Figure 6-23).
2.6. If the accelerator push rod was disconnected from the accelerator pedal, reconnect it.
3. ADJUST ACCELERATOR PEDAL HEIGHT - ALL VEHICLES
3.1. Using a 1/2” socket and 1/2” wrench, loosen the nut and bolt (Figure 6-24) securing the accelera-
tor pedal to the pivot plate. Clamp the accelerator pedal adjustment tool (Club Car Part No.
1018710-01) to the accelerator pedal, with the end marked accelerator pedal height toward the
floorboard, then depress the accelerator pedal until the end of the tool rests against the floor-
board (pedal height should be 5-5/8” plus or minus 1/8”). Use a rubber strap to hold the pedal in
position against the floorboard and then tighten the nut to 12-15 ft.lbs. (16/20 N-m) (Figure 6-25).
