Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the old parking brake cable by carefully disconnecting it from both the lever and the drum assembly. Clean all contact points to remove rust or debris.
2. Positioning: Slide the new ABS K11466 cable through the housing, ensuring that it follows the same path as the original. Avoid kinks or sharp bends that could compromise tension.
3. Tension Adjustment: Using a torque wrench or a calibrated tension gauge, set the cable to the manufacturer’s recommended tension value. This step is critical for optimal brake performance.
4. Securing: Fasten the cable ends with the appropriate clamps or fittings. Verify that all fasteners are tight and secure.
5. Testing: Engage the parking brake lever to confirm smooth operation. Release and re‑engage several times to ensure consistent tension and no binding.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or fraying. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Lubricate the cable with a high‑temperature brake grease to reduce friction and extend lifespan.
• Avoid over‑tightening during installation; excessive tension can lead to premature failure.
• Store spare cables in a dry, temperature‑controlled environment to prevent rusting.
