PARKING BRAKE (Figs. 29 & 30)
The Parking Brake is linked by Cables to a Disc Brake
assembly located on the end
of
each Hydrostatic Drive
Motor. The end
of
the Brake Handle can be rotated (the
Handle MUST be in the "Released" position when mak-
ing an adjustment)
to
remotely adjust the Cable lengths
and, in tum, the Brake Calipers. After every 200 hours
of
operation, the Parking Brake function should be checked
and the Brakes adjusted by rotating the end
of
the Brake
Handle.
After numerous adjustments, the end
of
the Handle will
reach its limit
of
travel and NO longer affect Brake
adjustment. At this time, the end
of
the Brake Handle
should be turned back to the opposite end
of
its rotating
limits and the Adjustment Bolt on each Brake assembly
MUST be readjusted to obtain a Brake Pad
to
Disc gap
of
0.010" to 0.015" (measured with a feeler gauge).
Access to the Adjustment Bolt for each Brake is gained
by unbolting, tilting-back and locking the Overhead
Guard. BE SURE
to
readjust the Brake Handle before
attempting to adjust the Bolt on each Brake assembly.
Also, loosen the Lock Nut before turning the Adjustment
Bolt and
BE
SURE to retighten the Nut after the adjust-
ment
is
made.
After the Brake assemblies have been readjusted twice,
the Pads
of
both Caliper Brake assemblies will require
replacement.
