Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Brakes

A brake adjustment rod is located on each side of the
machine so that you can adjust the brakes equally.
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 free from people
and obstructions before and after the
adjustment.
2. If the brakes do not lock equally, adjust the
brakes as follows:
A. Disconnect the brake rods by removing the
cotter pin and clevis pin

2. Jam nut
B. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the clevis
accordingly
C. Assemble the clevis to the brake shaft
(Figure 46).
D. Check the amount of free travel of the brake
pedal. 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.
E. While moving forward in transport speed,
press the brake pedal; both brakes should
lock equally. Adjust them, if necessary.
