★ Correct adjustment of the handbrake band starts with the anchor point nut on the band side - this must be adjusted first before adjusting the cable setting.

When adjusting the external handbrake band, first adjust the nut at the anchor point of the band to obtain correct clearance between band and drum. This centres the band on the drum. Only then adjust the cable tension for correct hand lever travel.
