Brakedrum (1)
Place brakedrum on a level surface, and
check as follows:
1. Position micrometer tips at center
of drum braking surfaces (2).
Move horizontally and vertically
while adjusting until maximum
contact is made.
2. Turning 45° each time, repeat
adjustment to obtain four readings.
Record each reading.
3. Check readings: The maximum dif-
ference between four readings can
not exceed 0.006-inch (0.015 mm).
Drums with out-of-round
exceeding limits must have
diameter trued on lathe.
