bles, which may be necessary after the car has been driven
for a lengthy period or after removal of the handbrake

footbrake. if the handbrake still requires adjustment, this
can be done in the manner described below with the ad-
,justing nuts, which are accessible from the driver's seat.

handbrake.

HANDBRAKE
LEVER AND ADJUSTING NUTS
1. Adjusting nuts
1. Jack up the rear part of the car so that both rear wheels
are clear of the floor.
2. Remove the right front seat and move the handbrake
lever to its bottom position.
3. Tighten the left adjusting nut until the brake shoe pres-
ses against the left drum. Use a suitable hex. socket
wrench to tighten the nut.
4. Back off the nut enough to allow the wheel to rotate
freely and then back off one more full turn.
Repeat this procedure with the right adjusting nut.
6. Test by pulling the handbrake lever firmly and then
returning it to the bottom position. The wheels should
turn freely when the lever has been pulled up two cogs
from the off position, but should be locked at the third
cog.
7. Check that the braking effect is equal on both wheels.
