Chock the wheels, release the park brake, and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position.
2.
Loosen, but do not remove the jam nut on the caliper park brake lever.
3.
Thread in and finger-tighten the adjustment bolt.
4.
Tighten the jam nut on the caliper lever to hold the adjustment bolt in place.
5.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the opposite park brake assembly.
6.
Inspect the brake system to ensure that both the hydraulic brake system and the park brake system are adjusted
and operating correctly before the vehicle is returned to service.
See Brake System Inspection on page 6-1.
