REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Major adjustment of the rear brake shoes is made on the brake thrust pins, by fitting
packing washers under the pins, as already described.
Minor adjustment of the rear brake shoes is made by altering the position, on the brake
rod, of the knurled adjusting nut. Screw the nut further on the rod to "take up"
the rear brake.
Adjust rear brake by:
Place machine on centre stand.
Screw further on the brake rod the knurled adjusting nut till, by rotating the wheel,
it can be felt the brake shoes are just touching the brake drum.
Then unscrew the adjusting nut five complete turns. (The adjusting nut is automatically
locked in position by virtue of the two projecting noses on it engaging in accommodating
slots cut in the clip which connects the brake rod and brake expander lever and being
retained in that position by the spring which encircles the rear end of the brake rod).
