2. Brake Adjustment

1.Disconnect battery. Block drive wheel off floor. 2.Fully raise the control handle. Remove the brake application spring. This allows the brakes to release.

Remove clevis pin. 3.Lower the control handle to the operating position so that brake linkage is on top of operating cam. 4.Adjust clevis so that pin just goes in brake cam arm.

Install pin. 5.Install spring, and test braking ability. Truck should stop in its own length. If brakes are inadequate, then shorten the linkage on clevis to get adequate braking.

The brake drum may be removed and the operating cam arm moved one “spline tooth” to compensate for brake shoe wear.

Before adjustments are make disconnect battery from truck to prevent accidental operation.
