Parking brake question

[robotech021]

How high should one set the hand brake? I've heard that you can break the cable if you set it too high. Is that true? On the other hand, I don't want to roll back if I set it too low.

Never heard of breaking it. I just pull it with a moderate force. It never rolls and I've never had a problem. My wife's brother seems to yank it as hard as he can, but I really don't see the need. As long as it's not rolling you should be fine (and that usually doesn't take a whole lot of force).

Thanks for the reply.
