Maintenance and Adjustments
Warning! Before performing any maintenance or adjustments, make sure the key switch is off
and the key is removed from the machine. Chock the machine wheels to prevent the
machine from moving.
To Adjust the Brakes
1. Remove the appropriate side panel to access
the Clevis Yoke.
2. Lift the Fork on the Clevis Yoke, then pull it
toward you to remove it from the Clevis Yoke.
3. Lift the Clevis Yoke out of the Brake Bar
Weldment
. This will allow the Clevis Yoke to
rotate on the Brake Rod.
4. Rotate the Clevis Yoke on the Brake Rod to
effectively lengthen or shorten the Brake
Rod
. Note that lengthening the Brake Rod
will apply more pressure to the brakes with
comparable brake pedal travel.
5. When the brake is adjusted correctly,
reinstall the Fork onto the Clevis Yoke, then
reinstall the side panel.
