SHOE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
Once the shoes and their self-regulating device on the hub have been assembled, it is necessary, before
installing the break drum on the wheel axle, to proceed, with the device just mentioned, to the pre-
adjustment of the shoes with respect to the brake drum.
PRE-ADJUSTMENT
Turn the register (1) of the device (from top to bottom or vice versa as the case may be) until the outside
diameter of the shoes is moved as close as possible to the corresponding inside diameter of the brake
drum.
Once these pre-adjustment operations have been completed, assemble the drum and proceed to the
final adjustment which is done (while the vehicle is not running) acting on the break pedal until the
braking action occurs in correspondence with the average travel of the pedal.
WARNING
THIS ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN SHOES AND DRUM (ON THE 3 WHEELS), AS THE VEHICLE IS
BEING USED, IS ALWAYS KEPT CONSTANT BY THE AUTOMATIC ACTION OF THE ADJUSTING
DEVICE THROUGH THE USE OF THE BREAK PEDAL.
FRONT DRUM BRAKE
Once the cap has been removed from hub hole (2), insert an adjustment tab (3) in the hole and push
lever (4) in while causing the sprocket wheel (5) to turn in the sense specified in the figure until the
clearance between the shoe and the drum facilitates removing the drum. This operation is easier if the
brake pedal is pressed at the same time.
