The mechanical parking brake acts on the brakes on the rear wheels
The parking brake is mechanically driven by lever 1 (fig. 1).
The middle part of the rear cable passes through the groove of the guide 7, the tension of which is regulated by a nut screwed onto the threaded lug of the front cable.
A spacer sleeve 8 is installed between the guide 7 and the adjusting nut.
At the rear ends of the cable there are tips, each of which is connected to the hook of the lever 11 of the manual drive of the shoes.
This lever is pivotally attached to the brake shoe with a finger and rests against the groove of the spacer bar 10 with its upper part.
The rib of the brake shoe is installed in the opposite groove of the bar.
