Emergency/Parking Brake Adjustment (750EFI/700 Models)
NOTE
Both left and righthand side emergency/parking brake caliper pads should be changed in
pairs. Do not attempt to just replace one side. The emergency/parking brake system has
been factory adjusted to ensure proper braking effectiveness. However, before the vehicle
is used for the rst time, and after every 25 hours of operation, the adjustment of the brake
must be inspected.
CAUTION
If the emergency/parking brake system is adjusted too tight when the lever is in the
down position, overheating of the brake system will occur due to drag between brake
pads and brake discs.
1. Remove the rewall.
2. Ensure the parking brake lever is fully down.
3. Locate the 850-72 Parking Brake Adjustment Bracket attached to the top of the trans-
mission. Photo 117 Adjust to remove any slack in the cable that may be present
between the brake lever, and the brake cams at the emergency/parking brake calipers.
This may require physically pulling down on the equalizer at bar to ensure all slack is
eliminated. Photo 118

4. Adjust the cable at the transmission until the cam levers are actually starting to pre-
load the return springs and the cam lever actuation pin on the caliper, is centered in the
"v-grove" of the cam. Photo 119
5. Locate the castle nut at the mechanical brake cam lever and remove the cotter pin.
