PARK BRAKE SYSTEM
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
PARK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The hydraulic portion of the brake system has an automatically adjusting brake pad system. The
park brake system does not and requires regular adjustment depending on use.
1. Chock the wheels, release the park brake, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
2. Loosen, but do not remove the jam nut on the caliper park brake lever.
3. Thread in and finger-tighten the adjustment bolt.
4. Tighten the jam nut on the caliper lever to hold the adjustment bolt in place.
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 Inspec-
tion on page 6-1.
PARK BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
ý
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 and park brake before adjusting park brake cable.
1. Chock the wheels, release the park brake, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
2. With the park brake released, tighten the conical nut until significant resistance is observed in the park
brake cable (Figure 6-22, Page 6-26) .
3. With the vehicle on flat ground and the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, push the park
brake pedal seven clicks.
4. Push the vehicle by hand. If the wheels move easily when the vehicle is pushed, continue tightening the
conical nut until the vehicle resists rolling easy and firm resistance is achieved.
5. Release the park brake pedal and push it again to seven clicks. The vehicle should not be movable with
one person pushing.
6. Tighten the equalizer jam nut against the conical nut and tighten to 55 in-lb (6.3 N·m).
7. 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 Inspec-
tion on page 6-1.
