CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

With the brake handle in the release position, remove the cotter pin from the castle nut. Insert
a 0.010 feeler gauge between the brake disc and the brake puck. Tighten the castle nut with
the feeler gauge inserted until the gauge fits snugly between the disc and puck. The gap
should not be so tight that the feeler gauge cannot be reinserted after removal. Back the
castle nut to the closest pin hole and reinsert the cotter pin. Repeat for other side. See
picture below.
