PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

2.If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value, adjust as described below. (1) Remove the cup holder, and then loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the cable rod end so that the cable will be free. (2) Remove the rear wheels. (3) Remove the adjustment hole plug of the rear brake backing plate <Short wheelbase, Long wheelbase-2 800, 3 000> or the rear brake disc <Long wheelbase-3 200, 3 800>, and then use a flat-tip (-) screwdriver to turn the adjuster in the direction of the arrow (the direction which expands the shoe) so that the disc will not rotate. (4) Return the adjuster six notches <Short wheelbase, Long wheelbase-2 800, 3 000> or eight notches <Long wheelbase-3 200, 3 800> in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow. (5) caution If the parking brake lever stroke is below the standard value and the braking is too firm, the rear brakes may drag. Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the standard value. After adjusting, check that there is no space between the adjusting nut and the parking brake lever. (6) Release the parking brake and turn the rear wheels to check that the rear brakes are not dragging.
