Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT Emergency Parking Brake Adjustment | Quick and Easy!

[@enzo121jon]

Appreciate the video. One note, those are jam nuts on the base of the bolt you were turning. That’s why it was so hard for you to turn. Loosen the jam nut first and you can turn the bolt in with your fingers, then tighten the jam nut back. Same size, 12mm

Good catch! Thanks for letting us know!

[@amacron5337]

Just got a 22 and by watching your video I'll know what to do. Thanks For posting

[@arrowjmfarms]

Glad to know it! Thanks for watching!

[@graemefenwick6925]

Awesome! I need to adjust mine, thanks heaps.

[@arrowjmfarms]

Don’t forget to loosen the jam nut first.

[@flintlock8973]

Thank you for posting this! I misplaced my manual, and the shop I had it in had just told me there was no adjustment, just get new brakes.

[@arrowjmfarms]

You’re very welcome! Wow! Get new brakes, SMH! Unfortunately, some only care about the initial sale but not the service after the sale.

[@stevechurch]

Awesome thanks. I wasn’t 100% sure on this. Great help. I have same model on my farm in Australia and same issue.

[@arrowjmfarms]

Thanks for commenting and letting me know. I’m glad it helped you out!

Good way to strip the threads without loosening the jam nut.

[@nathancourtney2006]

Thanks, good tip to share. I won't trail ride unless the e-brake is adjusted properly.

[@arrowjmfarms]

Absolutely! It’s actually dangerous if it’s not. I don’t want me or any family members to get ran over so I make sure and keep it adjusted.

[@carlrowley1996]

Thank you!

[@arrowjmfarms]

YW!

[@Timeshifter32]

The ranch i work on is very hilly, thanks a ton. Tired of backing up to the bank so the mule doesnt leave without me lol

[@arrowjmfarms]

I was having the same issue lol.

[@VendMD]

It did the trick, thanks

[@2dollab178]

I have the same problem with my 2016 diesel model, I’ve made this adjustment more times than I can remember now and it always walks itself back out… any suggestions as how to make it a permanent fix?

[@arrowjmfarms]

I don’t know that it could be made permanent. I’m guessing it’s a combination of brake pad wear and stretching of the cable but you’d think the cable would eventually settle in.

[@bngmhse]

As stated in another post on this, you need to check the "JAM" nut on the adjustment bolt! Loosen the jam nut before adjusting, and tighten the jam nut after adjustment while holding the adjustment screw with another wrench while doing so. Shouldn't move after that!

Great jkb

[@arrowjmfarms]

Thanks!

[@themotogarage-bwp]

YOU MUST LOOSEN THE LOCKING NUT BEFORE ADJUSTING THE BOLT.

[@georgemainwaring71]

That's the same as mine only I have a 20017 mule pro fxt it has 18000 miles on it just replaced the clutches and belts and all the brakes

[@arrowjmfarms]

Wow that’s awesome! Sounds like it has held up good.

[@t.jengines5250]

I wouldn’t call that an emergency brake, hand/parking brake yes but you would not want to pull that in an emergency you’d flip the fucker!

[@arrowjmfarms]

Haha true. Parking brake is the correct term I believe. Old habits calling it an Emergency brake.
