Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety during maintenance.
2. Removal of Old Cable: Carefully detach the existing parking brake cable from both the lever and the brake assembly, noting any routing or anchoring points.
3. Routing: Position the new ABS K13138 cable along the original path, ensuring it remains free from sharp bends or obstructions that could compromise tension.
4. Securing: Attach the cable to the lever and brake assembly using the provided fasteners. Verify that all connections are tight and secure.
5. Tension Adjustment: Follow manufacturer guidelines to set the correct tension, typically achieved by pulling the cable until a slight resistance is felt at the lever end.
6. Testing: Engage the parking brake manually and observe smooth operation. Release the brake to confirm that the cable returns to its resting position without binding.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion.
• Lubricate the cable housing with a suitable brake lubricant to reduce friction and extend service life.
• Avoid over‑tightening during installation; excessive tension can lead to premature failure.
