Clean and lubricate the parking brake assembly and the cables.
Do not allow the lubricant to contact the drum or the lining surfaces.

than once a month.

items monthly:
• | The lever assembly pivot pin |
• | The parking brake cable to the transmission clevis pin |
Use the following method in order to lubricate the parking brake assembly:
- Apply a light coating of lubricant to the following areas:
• | The parking brake lever pivot pin |
• | The right-hand side of the slot clevis |
• | The left-hand side of the slot clevis |
- Apply a light coating of the same lubricant to the parking brake
cable clevis pin which is located at the transmission brake.
