BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

A.

Manual Adjusters.

1.

Jack or hoist wheels free of ground.

2.

Remove dust cover from adjusting slot two

places on each brake.

On RD type brakes the adjusting slots are below

the forward and above the rear power unit.

If star-wheel adjusting bolts are not found at

these positions, the brake had been assembled

on the wrong side of the vehicle.

Adjusting bolts have right hand threads. With an

adjusting spoon, turn the star-wheel until a

heavy drum drag is developed.

Then back off

the bolt to a very light drag on the drum.

Repeat for other shoe on the brake. Replace

dust covers in adjusting slots.

Repeat for other

brakes.

NOTE: Recommended adjusting spoons, are Snap-On-

Blue-Point S-9523, Wizard 4-H-2530 and Proto 2006.
