Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Remove the old cable by carefully detaching it from both the brake lever/pedal and the rear wheel housing. Inspect the housing for any damage or wear.
2. Alignment: Position the new ABS K13146 Park Brake Cable so that its ends align with the corresponding fittings on the lever/pedal and the wheel housing.
3. Tensioning: Tighten the cable to the manufacturer’s specified tension. This is typically achieved by adjusting a set screw or bolt located near the lever/pedal assembly.
4. Testing: Engage the parking brake fully and release it several times to ensure smooth operation without excessive slack or binding.
5. Final Check: Verify that the cable remains securely fastened at both ends and that there is no visible wear or fraying along its length.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable periodically for signs of corrosion, fraying, or excessive stretch. Replace immediately if any defects are found.
• Avoid over‑tightening during installation, as this can cause premature wear or breakage.
• Keep the cable clean and free from debris that could impede its movement within the housing.
