adjusting.
To check; Apply and release the parking
brake on each side 10 times (see diagram

prevent any movement when applied, when
released, the gap between the brake and
the wheel should be between 1 to 3 mm. If
either of the above conditions is not correct
adjust the brakes as detailed in the
maintenance section, and re-check.
