DISC PAD ADJUSTMENT
Note. When replacing pads, ALWAYS replace inner and outer pads on both front wheels.
Pad wear is automatically compensated by piston moving outward in caliper bore. Disc pad adjustment is not required. Inspect disc pads whenever wheels are removed.
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
- Release parking brake and loosen cable adjusting nut to allow slack in cable. Adjust rear brakes. Tighten cable adjusting nut until a slight drag is felt while rotating rear wheels.
- Loosen cable adjusting nut until both rear wheels can be rotated freely. Back off adjusting nut an additional 2 turns. Apply and release parking brake several times, checking for free rotation at rear wheels.
REAR BRAKE SHOES ADJUSTMENT
- Raise and support vehicle. Ensure parking brake lever is fully released. Back off parking brake cable adjustment to ensure cable has slack. Remove adjusting hole cover.
- Using a brake adjuster, expand brake shoes until slight drag is felt when wheel assembly is rotated. Using thin screwdriver, hold automatic adjusting lever away from adjustment star wheel.
- Back off adjustment star wheel until wheel assembly rotates freely and brake shoe drag is eliminated. Repeat adjustment for remaining wheels. Adjustment must be equal at all wheels. Replace adjusting hole covers and adjust parking brake.
STOPLIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
The stoplight switch is attached to the brake pedal support. Push stoplight switch through clip in mounting bracket until switch seats in bracket. Pull brake pedal backward as far as pedal will travel. Brake pedal will ratchet stoplight switch to correct position. Verify full brake pedal return and that stoplights glow when brake pedal is applied.
