System Description

Pulling up the parking brake lever by hand will set the parking brake. Once pulled up, the lever is held by a ratchet-type lock until it is released. The position of the lever is transmitted through cable/lever systems to the rear wheels. These parts are designed in order to obtain sufficient braking force when parking on slopes. When the parking brake is set, or when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position, the brake warning light illuminates.

The rear wheel parking brake is a duo-servo brake (mechanical inside expansion type) built into the rear disc brake. Parking brake adjustment is made through the adjusting hole bored through the back plate. Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to six or seven notches.
