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 3 to 6 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds that ratch-
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 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.
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
Make sure for following conditions before cable (2) adjust-
ment.
No air is trapped in brake system.
Brake pedal travel is proper.
Brake pedal has been depressed a few times with about 30
kg (66 lbs) load.
Parking brake lever has been pulled up a few times with
about 20 kg force.
Rear brake pads are not worn beyond limit.
After confirming that above conditions are all satisfied, adjust park-
ing brake lever (1) stroke by loosening or tightening adjusting nuts
(3). Right and left outer cables should be adjusted equal.
NOTE:
Check brake drum for dragging after adjustment.
