SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Park Brake Adjustment
When the park brake is on, the spring should

between the brake yoke and the washer on the
lower brake rod.
If the spring needs adjusting follow these steps:
1. Apply the park brake.
2. Keep the lower brake rod from turning using a
9/16” wrench on the double nuts.
3. Turn the 3/8F nut at the the end of the spring
the proper direction to achieve the correct
measurement (2 3/4” - 2 7/8”).
4. Repeat on otherside if necessary.
