7. Recheck the cable between the equalizer flat bar and the
brake lever cams to ensure it is just on the verge of engag-
ing the calipers. Lock down jam nuts.
8. Check to ensure that the brakes are NOT engaged when
the Brake Lever is in the down & off position.
9. Check for drag by driving without activating any brakes
for about 100 feet. Stop and check for heat on the brake
discs. They should both be cool (or no hotter than the
beginning of the test). Adjust if necessary.
10. Check the effectiveness of the parking brake by parking
the Argo on the steepest hill encountered and by loading
to it’s maximum working load. The parking brake should
hold the Argo from moving.
11. Check the effectiveness of the emergency brake by acti-
vating it while coasting down a slight grade. The Argo
should come to a controlled stop without pulling left or
right. Re-adjust the brakes if necessary.
12. The emergency/parking brake should be checked for
proper adjustment every 25 hours. Note: Oil on the brake
disc caused by improper chain oiling will temporarily
reduce the effectiveness of the brakes.
