play, A, is 7/8" to 1-1/8" (20 to 30 mm).

balance will be affected. Adjust and balance
brakes before free-play is excessive
FIG. 6-39:
1. Remove and free the brake rod one side of right or
left.
2. Adjust the brake rod that is not free earlier.
3. Loosen lock nut, 1 (right-hand thread), and lock nut, 2
(left-hand thread). Adjust rod using weld nut, 3, so
free-play is correct for brake pedal.
4. Secure lock nuts against turnbuckles.
5. Adjust the brake rod of other side.
Make sure lock nuts are secured when brake adjustment
is complete. Check operation of parking brakes after
adjustment is made.

permit equal braking action at both rear
wheels.

operation of parking brake. With brake pedals latched
together depress pedals fully and apply parking brake. It
should have brakes locked with lever approximately in
center of travel. Adjust cable, 1, at lever if necessary.
