2. Detailed explanation of truck handbrake adjustment steps
1.Preparation: Make sure the vehicle is parked on flat ground, pull up the handbrake and put it in neutral, and prepare wrenches, screwdrivers and other tools.
2.Check handbrake cable tightness: Most truck handbrakes are driven by a wire rope. If the handbrake stroke is too long (it still cannot brake when it is pulled to the highest position), the nut needs to be adjusted to tighten the wire.
| Part name | normal state | abnormal behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Handbrake wire rope | No rust, tight | relaxation, breakage |
| Adjusting nut | Flexible to rotate | Rusty, slippery |
3.Adjust nut position: - Locate the adjusting nut under the handbrake lever (usually located under the cabin or near the drive shaft). - Rotate the nut counterclockwise to tighten the steel wire. Test the handbrake effect after adjusting 1/4 turn each time to avoid locking due to excessive tightening.
4.Test braking effect: - When testing on a road with a small slope, the vehicle should remain stationary after pulling on the handbrake. - If it still slides, further adjustments or inspection of brake pad wear is required.
3. Common problems and solutions
| question | Possible reasons | Solution |
|---|---|---|

| Car still rolls away after braking | Brake pad wear | Replace brake pads |
