PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION AND AD-
JUSTMENT
INSPECTION
Hold center or parking brake lever grip and pull it up with 20 to 25
kg (44 to 55f lbs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as above, count ratchet notches
in “A” as shown in figure.
There should be 7 to 9 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly.

et makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing its but-
ton. One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable by referring
to adjustment procedure described on the following setp b) so as
to obtain specified parking brake stroke.
NOTE:
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or wear. If any dam-
age or wear is found, replace parking brake lever.
