  If you're experiencing poor braking force with your TCM Forklifts, several factors could be at play. It might be due to brake fluid leaks, which require repair. Other potential causes include maladjusted brake shoe clearance (check and adjust the adjuster), overheating brakes (check for dragging), poor contact between the brake drum and lining (adjust contact), foreign matter sticking to the lining (repair or replace), foreign matter mixed in brake fluid (check brake fluid), or maladjustment of the brake pedal (adjust).

  If your TCM Forklifts exhibit a soft or spongy brake, it could stem from a few reasons. Start by checking for brake fluid leaks within the brake system and repair any leaks found. Also, inspect the brake shoe clearance and adjust the adjuster if it's maladjusted. Another possibility is air mixed in the brake system, in which case you should bleed the air. Finally, ensure the pedal is properly adjusted.
