4.18. There should be 7/8” (.875”) of free-play in the
pedal before the pedal transmits movement to
the cables. Free-play is measured at the front
edge of the brake pedal pad. See Figure 4.18.
4.19. The parking brake should have sufficient holding
power to keep the vehicle from moving on a 22
degree grade with an operator in the seat and
800 lbs. in the load bed. See Figure 4.19.
4.20. When the parking brake is set, the brake switch
actuator should release the plunger on the brake
switch far enough to close the contacts within
the switch. use a 3/8” wrench to adjust the
brake switch actuator to achieve correct opera-
tion. See Figure 4.20.
NOTE: If the brake switch is not actuated, the
gear selector system will not function. If the
brake switch actuator is adjusted so that the
plunger is released before there is sufficient
pressure on the brake pedal to prevent vehicle
motion, an unsafe condition may occur.
4.21. Brake adjustments should be made using the
jam nuts on the cables, or the clevises at the
ends of the cables. The nut and jam nut on the
pull bolt are best left undisturbed.
See Figure 4.21.
