Adjusting the Park Brake
1.Raise the rear of the unit and place it on stable jack stands. Engage the parking brake and remove both rear tires/wheels.
2.With the parking brake still engaged, remove all spring tension by loosening the spring locknut. Unlock the jam nut against the yoke and loosen the bolt until the head is about 1/2 inch away from the trunnion. Relock the jam nut against the yoke. Tighten the spring locknut until bolt head/trunnion gap closes to 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
3.Disengage the parking brake hand lever and check that the spring is still under tension. This is important in order to hold the linkage from going
4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the opposite brake band.
