W Series Parking brake

[wa8yxm]

This is not the troublesome Auto-park but a good old fashion manual step on the pedal and pull the "T" handle to release brake.

Can it be adjusted, if so, How? Seems mine is getting kind of "light" as it were.

wa8yxm,

Look under the coach, where the park brake cable connects to the brake drum on the output of the transmission. There should be a clevis on the end of the cable, pull the pin, loosen the jamb nut and turn the clevis to shorten the cable length. Give it a couple of turns, reinstall the clevis pin, and check to see if you have tightened the park brake enough by applying it with the foot pedal, if its not tight enough for you, shorten it some more. Don't forget to reinstall the cotter pin in the clevis pin after making the final adjustment.
