Parking Brake System: Description and Operation




Parking Brake

The parking brake system consists of the following components:

- Parking brake control

- Parking brake warning indicator switch

- Front parking brake cable

- Parking brake cable equalizer

- Rear parking brake cables

- Rear drum brake components

The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is depressed. The parking brake control applies tension to the front parking brake cable and conduit. The parking brake cable equalizer is coupled to the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit, and connected directly to the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit. The respective rear brake assemblies are then applied.
