3. Remove the park brake handle (1) from the seat support.

PARK BRAKE HANDLE INSTALLATION

1. Attach the handle (1) to the seat support using two 3/8-16 x 1-1/4-inch hex-head bolts (4), 3/8 flat wash-
ers (5) and 3/8-16 lock nuts (6) (Figure 6-27, Page 6-37). Tighten the nuts to 23 ft-lb (31.4 N·m).
NOTE: Use new 3/8-16 lock nuts for this assembly procedure.
2. Install the park brake cable. See Equalizer Cable Installation on page 6-34.
3. Adjust the park brake. See Park Brake Adjustment on page 6-35.

PARK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

∆
CAUTION
• Perform the following procedure only on level surface. To avoid injury or property damage,
ensure that the path of the vehicle is clear before pushing vehicle.
1. Ensure that the brake pedal is adjusted correctly. See Brake Pedal Adjustment, Section 5, Page 5-3.
2. Chock the wheels, release the park brake and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
3. Loosen the equalizer jam nut (11) and the conical nut (23) to provide slack in the wheel brake cables
(Figure 6-27, Page 6-37).
4. Use a torque wrench and Torx #T-27 driver, or hydraulic brake adjuster (CCI P/N 102169401), to gently
rotate the adjuster bolts to increase or decrease the clearance between the brake shoe lining and the
brake drum (Figure 6-14, Page 6-16). See following CAUTION.
∆
CAUTION
• Do not apply more than 65 in-lb (7.3 N·m) of torque to any of the adjuster bolts. Over-
tightening of the adjuster bolts could result in damage to the brake cluster components or the
separation of the bolt (4) from the adjuster (3) (Figure 6-1, Page 6-2 or Figure 6-19, Page 6-21)
5. With the park brake released (down), tighten the conical nut (23) until significant resistance is observed
in the equalizer cable in order to fully lock the brakes (Figure 6-27, Page 6-37).
