6.Move the brake band to the right one hole, and re-install the pedal stop, tightening the cap screw until it is just snug.

Note: If installing a new brake band, install the cap screw so there is one hole to the left for future brake adjustment.

7.Firmly push the pedal lever to the right until it stops and the brake band is fully clamped around the brake hub.

8.Tap the pedal stop into position so there is approximately a 25mm gap between the pedal lever and the stop (see Figure 126), then firmly tighten the pedal stop cap screw.

10.Push the pedal lever down to verify that the cam lobe pushes the brake switch plunger in. When pushed in, the switch should click.

—If the switch does not click, loosen the switch mounting screws, push the brake pedal all the way down, and move the switch closer to the lobe until it clicks. Secure the switch in place at this location.

Note: In the released position, there should be an approximate 3mm gap between the switch plunger and the cam lobe.

11.Re-install the motor access panel, connect the lathe to power, then test the brake pedal. If you are not satisfied with the brake performance, repeat this procedure until you are.
