Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the existing parking brake cable by loosening the end fittings and carefully pulling it out of the wheel assembly.
2. Measure Length: Determine the required cable length for your vehicle model. If a custom length is needed, cut the cable to size using a suitable wire cutter.
3. Attach End Fittings: Secure the standardized fittings onto both ends of the cable. Ensure that they are tightened firmly to prevent slippage during operation.
4. Route the Cable: Guide the cable through the designated path within the wheel hub and along the handbrake lever mechanism, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension.
5. Tension Adjustment: Once routed, adjust the cable tension according to the vehicle’s service manual. The cable should engage fully when the handbrake is pulled but not bind when released.
6. Final Check: Test the parking brake by engaging and releasing it several times. Verify that the lever returns smoothly and that the vehicle remains stationary when parked.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or fraying. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals that could degrade its protective coating.
• Lubricate the cable’s internal components with a suitable brake grease to reduce friction and prolong service life.
