1. Position a floor jack under the rear of the machine.

Raise the machine and support it to prevent it

from falling. Block the caster wheels to prevent the

2" to 2-1/4" Clearance

390S0152-1

 

machine from moving. Remove the drive wheels.

2.

With the brake lever in the disengaged position,

 

check the distance between the top of the frame

 

tube and the bottom of the brake handle. The

 

distance should be 2" to 2-1/4" (See Figure 6-1).

3.

If the distance is not at the specified measurement,

 

adjust by loosening the jam nuts at both ends of the

 

brake control rod and turning the rod until the proper

 

distance is achieved. (See Figure 6-1). Tighten the

 

jam nuts.

4.

With the brake in the engaged position, check the

 

spring compression between the two flat washers on

 

the LH side of the machine. The distance should be

 

1-7/16". (See Figure 6-2).

5.

If the distance is not at the specified measurement,

 

loosen the jam nut at the rod end side of the brake

 

actuator rod. (See Figure 6-2).

6.

Turn the adjustment bolt (clockwise to decrease

 

the spring compression or counter clockwise to

 

increase the spring compression) until the 1-7/16"

 

measurement is achieved and tighten the jam nut.

 

(See Figure 6-2).

7.

Repeat steps 4 though 6 on the RH side of the

 

machine.

8.

Replace the drive wheels and test the brake.
