Brake bands receive very little wear and seldom require replacement. If a
band does wear out, perform the following procedure.
1. Turn off the power. Open the VU Meter Panel. Open the Transport.
2. Remove the Tachometer and its cover from the Brake Assembly.
3. Remove the four screws behind the brake arms that secure the brake
band marked in Figure 5-3 with black arrows.. Remove the brake pad.
4. Confirm that the new brake band is uniformly distant from the brake
drum by moving the plunger of the brake solenoid by hand. Make
adjustments by loosening the screws indicated in Figure 5-3.
5. Check and adjust the brake tension as described in § 6.1.7.
