Principles of Operation

Parking Brake System
The parking brake system is an independent cable-actuated system controlled by an foot-operated parking brake control that is not self-adjusting. When the parking brake control is pressed, tension is applied to the front cable and is applied to the brake shoes through the equalizer and the rear parking brake cables. To return the system to the released position, the parking brake control is pressed a second time.
