1. Remove the stop screw, on the side of the park brake handle end cap, and turn cap clock-
wise to increase the brake tension.
2. Replace the stop screw.
If adjustment of the park brake handle does not increase the brake tension, adjustment at the
brake band actuator is required. The following information will describe how to adjust the park
brake actuator.
1. Remove the floor plate and locate the park brake assembly between the differential and the
hydraulic drive motor.
2. Using a 7/8" open end wrench, loosen the top lock nut on the brake cable assembly. Using
your fingers, reach under the bracket and turn the lower lock nut towards the end of the
cable one complete turn of the nut.
3. Tighten the top lock nut and check park brake tension. If tension is too tight, loosen the end
cap on the park brake handle to fine tune to the desired amount of tension. If tension is too
loose, rework step #2 until desired amount of tension is acquired.*
4. Replace floor plate.
*Refer to the exploded view on the following page for clarification. Helpful Hint: Lengthening
the cable will tighten the park brake, shortening the cable will loosen the park brake.
