Check parking brake engagement
Make sure that the ratchet locking mechanism of the
parking brake is secure and reliable.
The parking brake hand lever is directly linked to the
brake pedals.
Make sure that free travel is identical for both pedals,
since free travel of the pedals determines the free travel of
the parking brake and left/right distribution of the braking
action when the brakes are locked.
Once you have adjusted the brake pedals, adjust the free
travel of the parking brake by means of the adjuster nut
(3) on the brake lever, so that the parking brake engages
after 2-3 clicks of the ratchet mechanism.
Travel adjustment of the lh brake pedal and parking
