WARNING: THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTING FEATURE
OF THIS PARKING BRAKE LEVER CONTAINS A
CLOCKSPRING LOADED TO APPROXIMATELY 19
POUNDS. DO NOT RELEASE THE AUTOMATIC
ADJUSTER LOCKOUT DEVICE UNLESS THE PARK-
ING BRAKE CABLES AND EQUALIZER ARE CON-
NECTED TO THE LEVER OUTPUT CABLE. KEEP
HANDS OUT OF AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER SECTOR
AND PAWL AREA. FAILURE TO OBSERVE CAUTION
IN HANDLING THIS MECHANISM COULD LEAD TO
SERIOUS INJURY.

(11) Ensure that parking brake cables are correctly

installed on equalizer and aligned with cable track
on parking brake lever.

(12) Keeping hands clear of automatic adjuster

sector and pawl area, firmly grasp screwdriver (pin
punch or locking pin if a new lever has been
installed) installed in lever mechanism (Fig. 58), then
quickly remove it from parking brake lever mecha-
nism. This action allows parking brake lever mecha-
nism to automatically take up any slack.

(13) Cycle parking brake lever once to position

parking brake cables, then return lever its released
position.

(14) Check rear wheels of vehicle. They should

rotate freely without dragging with lever in released
position.

(15) Lower vehicle.
(16) Fully apply parking brake lever.
