MECHANICAL BRAKES
Read section A and B completely prior to operation or repair of golf car
F-14
The brake pedal latching force may be checked as verification after setting brake pedal free travel; to
check parking brake latching force, place a 'bathroom' scale on the service and parking brake pedals.
Using both feet press the scale down against the parking brake pedal until it latches. The parking brake
should latch between 65 and 75 Ibs 29 - 34 kilograms) (Ref Fig. F20).
Adjust brake pedal free travel as described in 'MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS' if required.
4. Inspect the brake cables.
Inspect for damage to the outer cable, fraying of the inner cable or lack of free motion when the pedal is
applied and released. Inspect the brake cable supports to be sure the cables are properly secured. If any
of these conditions are found, replace both cables and equalizer as a set.
5. Check the clevis pins.
Check clevis pins attaching the brake cables to the brake lever. They must be loose when the brake
pedal has been released (Ref Fig. F19). If the clevis pins are not loose, but brake pedal free travel is
correctly adjusted and the brake cables move freely, the problem is likely in the wheel brake.
6. Inspect the brake cable equalizer linkage.
Inspect for signs of corrosion, damage, wear or excessive misalignment (Ref Fig. F11). Replace if
corrosion, damage, or wear is found.
7. Inspect the compensator assembly.
Inspect for damage, corrosion or wear. Replace the complete assembly if problems are found. In general,
no adjustment will be needed, as the spring assembly is factory calibrated. With the parking brake
disengaged check that the compensator spring length is 3 15/16" (10 cm) (Ref Fig. F11). If an
adjustment is required, it should be made at the nuts at the spring facing the front of the vehicle. Tighten
the jam nut firmly after adjusting.
8. Inspect parking brake pedal hinge.
Check for broken or rusted springs and correct retention of the hinge pin. Operate parking brake pedal to
confirm smooth operation of the hinge mechanism (Ref Fig. F12).
