Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Brakes

A brake adjustment rod is located on each side of the machine
so that the brakes can be equally adjusted. Adjust the brakes
as follows:
1. While moving forward in transport speed, press the
brake pedal; both wheels should lock equally.
CAUTION
Testing the brakes in a confined area where
others are present could cause injury.
Always check the brakes in a wide,
open-spaced, flat area which is free of other
persons and obstructions before and after
adjustment.
2. If the brakes do not lock equally, disconnect the
brake rods by removing the cotter pin and clevis pin
(Figure 55).

3. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the clevis accordingly
(Figure 55).
4. Assemble the clevis to the brake shaft (Figure 55).
5. Check the amount of free travel of the brake pedal
when the adjustment is completed. There should be
13 to 26 mm (1/2 to 1 inch) travel before the brake
shoes make contact with the brake drums. Adjust, if
necessary, to achieve this setting.
6. While moving forward in transport speed, press the
brake pedal; both brakes should lock equally. Adjust,
if necessary.
7. It is recommended that the brakes be burnished
annually; refer to the Break-in Period (page 22) section.
