Servicing the Brakes

Inspecting Brakes
Brakes are a critical safety component of the vehicle.
As with all safety components, they should be closely
inspected at regular intervals to ensure optimum
performance and safety. The following inspections
should be done every 100 hours:
• Inspect the brake shoes for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than
mm), the brake shoes should be replaced.
• Inspect the backing plate and other components
for signs of excessive wear or deformation. If any
deformation is found, the appropriate components
must be replaced.
Adjusting the Brake Pedal
Adjust the brake if the parking brake does not hold,
brake pedal travel is excessive, or braking power is
not sufficient when the brake pedal is depressed.
Check adjustment every 200 hours.
