HEAD SWING BRAKE
The brake assembly can be accessed by removing the brake cover. The brake should be adjusted with the head
swing either to the extreme left or right. (Make sure system pressure is set properly). Maintain the machine in
swing mode (either left or right). THE BRAKE MUST BE FULLY RELEASED. Adjust the brake nut #3 so that the
total clearance between the brake plate #1 and the rear brake pad #5 is .005” - .010”. Lock the jam nut #2. Make
sure the two roll pins #7 secure the brake pads from rotation. Swing the head in both directions through the entire
range to make sure the brake is working properly. Re-install the brake cover.
