BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT
Check the thickness of the brake lining.
• Remove both black plastic plugs (3) one on each
wheel.
• Check the thickness of the brake lining.
• After inspection and/or replacement re-insert both
plugs (3).
Brake shoe adjustment re-establishes the brake lining-to-
drum clearance and compensates for lining wear.
Before jacking up the compressor, connect
it to a towing vehicle or attach a weight of
minimum 50 kg (110 lb) to the towbar.
When the brake lining has been worn to a
minimum thickness, the brake shoes have to
be replaced (Min. thickness brake lining: 1
mm (0.039 in)).
