Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the existing cable or ensure the vehicle’s parking brake system is accessible. Inspect the housing for damage.
2. Routing: Thread the ABS K11897 through the designated path, avoiding sharp bends that could compromise tension.
3. Tension Adjustment: Using a calibrated wrench or torque tool, set the cable to the manufacturer’s recommended tension. Verify by engaging the parking brake and checking for proper drum or disc contact.
4. Securing: Fasten the cable ends with appropriate clamps or pins, ensuring they are snug but not over‑tightened.
5. Testing: Activate the parking brake fully, release it, and repeat several cycles to confirm smooth operation and consistent tension.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable annually for signs of wear, corrosion, or fraying. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Avoid excessive heat exposure by keeping the cable away from hot engine components whenever possible.
• Lubricate the cable’s internal housing with a suitable brake lubricant to reduce friction and prolong lifespan.
