    Stubborn holding brake

    How to adjust the holding brake system on an Argo. The right holding brake is keeping the stick from going up against the dash block?

    Pictures tell a lot, did you mount the arm upside down?


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.

    No, the stick is close but not tight to the dash block but the right one is. Then when I will the sticks back it brings on the holding brake lever ( left)

    Sounds like it is upside down ,it shouldnt engage by itself.On your model I think you had to pull lever and raise the parking brake lever,then to release it just pull back.Have you looked at the online manual and compared it?

    My two folding brake handles are always up on the plastic of the dash not down so upside down or? And to engage it I pull the levers down and pull the holding brake levers down to but the Levine slips off of the notch on the left steering lever

    Also I noticed I am using the springs that are used in the chain tensioners, maybe that could be the problem? But it seems like the steering colum is to far the the left because the metal frame under the steering levers actually goes into the spring and is caught in there. Will try new springs and then will adjust? Any ideas if I am still wrong

    Adjust the body support that rests on the trans, lift the body upward while tightening it.

    I am using the right springs? Those big ones in the chain tensioners? Also it's only the left stick that don't stay down. The holding brake lever just moves in and the brake lets go the bar isn't bent or anything I don't know what's wrong?
