Cable Adjustment

1. Apply parking brake control fully on 445 N (100 lbs) foot pedal effort, 334 N (75 lbs) hand effort. Release parking brake control. Repeat application and release.
2. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL (N). Raise the vehicle on an axle-type hoist.





3. With parking brake control in OFF position, grasp tensioner around housing, then using a tool similar to the one shown, hook the end into the rounded end of clip between clip and housing. Unlock clip by pulling downward with the tool and support tensioner, tensioner spring will take up cable slack and preload cables. While holding tensioner, lock the clip by PUSHING UP on bottom of clip. If clip does not slide up, move assembly slightly to align closest groove on adjuster rod to the clip.
4. Examine tensioner for remaining cable take up capability. If none is present, check all cables, parking brake control and brackets for possible damage or deflection. Replace damaged parts and tension system by using the Initial Installation Adjustment procedure.
