Adjustments Brake Adjustment Adjust service brakes when there is more than 1.5 in. “free travel” of brake pedal, or when brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance the brake pedal moves before braking resistance is felt. To reduce free travel of brake pedals, tighten nut on brake rod adjuster, 1/2 turn at a time, until you get desired “free travel” in pedal.
