As the the brake linings wear, the brake will have to be adjusted adjusted to maintain proper proper braking. After several adjustments or as the thickness of the shoe shoe lining approaches 5/16 inch, the the linings will have to be replaced. The brake is adjusted adjusted as follows:

1. When When the spring length reaches reaches A-max loosen the the jam nut and tighten tighten the special nut nut until until the the spring length reaches A-min dimension.
