Parking brake system: 1 - parking brake lever; 2 - lever rod; 3 - brake cable for the right rear wheel; 4 - washer; 5 - adjusting nut; 6 - locknut; 7 - cable for the brake mechanism of the left rear wheel; 8 - spacer bar; 9 - lever; 10 - cable equalizer; 11 - rubber cover; 12 - thrust axis.
The parking brake system is designed to prevent spontaneous movement of the vehicle during parking.
The parking brake lever is connected by two cables to the brake mechanisms of the rear wheels. When the lever is raised to the upper position, the levers mounted on the rear pads turn and begin to put pressure on the spacer bars. At the same time, the rear brake pads move apart and fix the drum from turning.
