Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental engagement of the parking brake during installation.
2. Removal of Old Cable: Loosen the cable clamp or fastener at the steering column and carefully slide out the old cable. Keep track of any retaining clips or brackets that may need replacement.
3. Mounting the New Cable: Position the ABS K18892 cable onto the steering column pulley, aligning it with the marked reference point. Secure it using the provided clamp or fastener, ensuring a snug fit without over‑tightening.
4. Tension Adjustment: Engage the parking brake lever to its maximum position and then release it slowly while checking for smooth operation. If necessary, adjust the tension by slightly tightening or loosening the clamp until the lever returns to its neutral position within a few millimeters of the stop point.
5. Final Checks: Verify that the cable moves freely through all travel ranges and that there are no kinks or obstructions. Reconnect the battery and test the parking brake by engaging it, then releasing to confirm proper function.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the cable regularly for signs of wear such as fraying, corrosion, or excessive slack.
• Clean the cable and surrounding components with a mild solvent to remove oil, grease, or dirt that could impede movement.
• If you notice any irregularities in operation—such as a stiff lever or delayed release—replace the cable promptly to avoid safety risks.
