Drum Style

The parking brake is part of the rear drum brake assembly. The system is controlled by a foot-operated parking brake control mounted on the steering column support bracket.





The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is depressed. The parking brake control applies tension to the front parking brake cable and conduit, the parking brake intermediate cable, and the parking brake cable equalizer. The parking brake cable equalizer is coupled to the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit, and the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit. The respective rear brake assemblies are then applied.

If the parking brake control is not fully released, the parking brake signal switch will illuminate the brake warning light.

The parking brake signal switch is mounted on the parking brake control.
