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

Notice: Frequent parking brake operation will require lubrication more often than once a month.

In order to reduce the amount of assembly wear, lubricate the following items monthly:

    • The lever assembly pivot pin
    • The slot clevis pin
    • The slots
    • The parking brake cable to the transmission clevis pin

Use the following method in order to lubricate the parking brake assembly:

  1. Apply a light coating of lubricant to the following areas:
  2. • The parking brake lever pivot pin
    • The right-hand side of the slot clevis
    • The left-hand side of the slot clevis
  3. Apply a light coating of the same lubricant to the parking brake cable clevis pin which is located at the transmission brake.
  4. Check the adjustment of the parking brake.
  5. Adjust the parking brake if necessary.
