Parking Brake Adjustment

NOTE:  All brakes are self adjusting. Brakes are
adjusted by repeated stepping on the brake pedal.
(After stepping on the pedal and releasing it, the rear
auto–adjuster, in the rear brake, produces a clicking
sound. The same operation should be repeated until the
sound disappears.) 
Take the following steps after overhauling the rear brake
assembly.

1. Move the parking brake lever to its fully released

position.

2. Parking cable must be loosened sufficiently.

(Loosen the adjust nut and the lock nut.).

3. Repeat stepping on the brake pedal firmly, and

releasing it until the clicking sound can no longer be
heard.
If the difference between the brake drum inside
diameter and diameter of the brake shoes is
adjusted to be 0.5 mm, the number of times for
depressing the brake pedal can be reduced.

4. Remove the drum. Measure the brake drum inside

diameter and diameter of the brake shoes.

Shoe clearance: 0.25 mm to 0.40 mm

 (0.0098 in to 0.0157 in)

If incorrect, check the brake auto–adjusting system.

5. Rotate the adjust nut of hand brake lever until all

slack disappears from the cable. Set the adjust nut.

6. Applying about 30 kg (66 lb) of force, pull the

parking brake lever to its fully set position three or
four times.

7. If the parking brake is properly adjusted, the travel

between the fully disengaged position and the fully
engaged position will be 6 notches.
If the traveling range is not within these limits,
repeat steps 1 through 5 again .
After adjusting has been done, check to see if the
rear wheel rotates smoothly without drag when
turned by hand.
