Brake Adjustment

Drum Type Brakes

The brakes make an adjustment automatically when

an application is made in forward and reverse. With

each application, there will be an adjustment made

until the lining-to-drum clearance is made small

enough to stop the movement of automatic adjuster

(7).

Manual brake adjustment is necessary only when

new brake shoes are installed and the automatic

adjustment has been moved.

NOTE: During manual brake adjustment, do not

loosen bolt (4). Likewise, do not change the position

of adjuster (7). If the position of adjuster (7) is

changed, then it will have to be centered on the

housing.

To make a manual adjustment to the brakes, do the

procedure that follows:

Wood blocks or jack stands of the correct capaci-

ty must be used under the machine to prevent the

machine from a fall that is not expected. Failure to

do so can result in injury or death.

1. Put blocks or jack stands of the correct capacity

under the machine.

Brake Adjustment

(1) Hole. (2) Wheel.

2. Turn wheel (2) or brake drum until the hole (1) is

in alignment with star wheel (3) of the brakes.

3. Put brake adjustment tool through the hole and

into a tooth of star wheel (3).
