2. Also adjust the adjusting screw to shorten the

B dimension ;ji Hinch each time the spring is readjusted. This will prevent the cylinder from bottoming out and possibly preventing the brake from setting. possibly

:3. Release brake, check for equal clearance oflining to drum, and and readjust jaw set screws for 1/64 1/64 inch clearance.

L";,. CAUTION: Prior to working on any .. brakes, observe the following precautions:

1. Place walking shoes and bucket on ground.

2. De-energize, lock out and tag all controls.

3. Set all brakes except those being worked on. A minimum ofone brake per unit should always be set. except

To disassemble style 6 brakes (figure 49) proceed as follows:

1. Remove the spring rod bolt nut. Back offon the rod bolt special nut until all tension is removed from the spring. 2. Unbolt the brake support bracket and slide the complete brake assembly from the brake drum.

Note, ifused, the thickness and location of the shims under the bracket, so that when the bracket is remounted, the brake will align properly with the brake drum. and from so is

;l. Remove the spring rod bolt special nut. rod bolt, and spring.

4. Unpin and remove the air cylinder from the brake.

'J. Unpin and remove the brake lever adjusting screw assembly from the brake jaw (figure .)()).

NOTE: The adjusting screzo must be removed from the lever pin and then the lever pin removed. then

6. Unpin and remove the brake lever from the brake jaw.

7. Turn the brake jaw adjusting screws all the way in, then remove the jaw to bracket pins and remove the jaw and shoe as an assembly (figure Gl). Separate the jaw and shoe by removing the mounting bolt. an mounting
