Parking Brake Adjustment Driveline Park Brake

1. Block the wheels.



2. Apply the park brake perpendicular to the actuating lever throughout its travel.
3. The measured force should fall between 311-400 N·m (70-90 lb).
4. If measures force is above specification, do the following:

4.1.	Assure that the cable routing flows smoothly with no kinks.

4.2.	Assure that the camshaft lever is free to rotate in the proper direction.

4.3.	Check the cable to cable connection at the B.O.C. bracket.

If threaded engagement into the hex fitting is greater than 14.0 mm (0.56 in) reduce amount by 3.2 mm (0.125 in). DO NOT reduce engagement less than 14.0 mm (0.56 in).

5. If measure force is below specification do the following:

5.1.	With the park brake lever disengaged, turn the handle adjustment knob as needed.

Adjustment knob should not be near the bottomed out position in either direction.

5.2.	If handle effort can not be increased, adjust the tread up to 75 percent engagement ay the B.O.C. bracket to allow for the correct adjustment at the handle.

6. If proper parking brake adjustment is not possible with these settings, check all system components for correct part numbers and assembly.
