caliper by hand until it feels tight, then screw it
out 1/8 turn. Tighten the locknut to the speci-
fied torque.CAUTION:_ When tightening the locknut, hold the adjust-
ing bolt with a wrench so that the adjusting

WARNING
_ Operating with improperly adjusted brakes
could cause the brakes to malfunction, result-
ing in reduced braking performance. This
could increase the chance of a collision or ac-
cident. After adjusting the parking brake, block
the rear of the machine off the ground and spin
the rear wheels. Check to make sure there is
no brake drag. If brake drag is noticed, perform
the adjustment again. _
