FINAL INSPECTION

WARNING: When carrying out road tests, select a safe place where no man or no running vehicle is seen so as to prevent any accident.

Check that lever has proper travel.

WARNING: With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope, make sure nothing is in the way downhill to avoid any personal injury or property damage. Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly even if vehicle should start to move.

Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and brake lever is pulled all the way.
