PRE-RELEASE
Hand brake system (1-cable)
| Hand brake system (1-cable) |
When the handbrake is operated, the force is transferred via two cables to the levers. One cable runs from the handbrake to the right rear wheel and the other is connected between the left back wheel and the cable of the rear right wheel by an equalisation sleeve.
The lever forces the brake shoes against the brake drum so that braking takes place. When the handbrake is applied, the handbrake lamp on the facia comes on.
When the handbrake is released, the return spring returns the levers and the brake shoes move to the brake off position. For handbrake adjustment, see “Handbrake system”.
