5. Adjust the control rod length by rotating the turnbuckle
until there is 3/16 to 1/4 inch (5 to 6mm) clearance
between the control rod end and the bottom of the
neutral/parking brake lock slot with the drive lever in
the drive position (Fig. 12).
6. Tighten the wing nut to prevent the turnbuckle from
turning (Fig. 11).
7. Check the drive adjustment by squeezing the drive
levers firmly and then releasing. If the 3/16 to 1/4 inch
(5 to 6mm) adjustment has changed, adjust as
necessary.
8. Check the parking brake. Refer to Servicing the Brakes
