1 To check the handbrake adjustment, applying normal moderate pressure, pull the handbrake lever to the fully-applied position, counting the number of clicks emitted from the handbrake ratchet mechanism, if adjustment is correct, the handbrake should be fully applied after 4 to 7 (rear drum brake models) or 5 to 8 (rear disc models) clicks have been emitted. If this is not the case, adjust the handbrake as described in Chapter 9.
