10 Apply locktite 242 (blue) to threads and screw pin
onto cable. Adjust to the intial length and tighten the jam
nut.. (fig. C5625) Insert this assembly into the transmis-
sion bushing pushing the pin into the hole in the axle
sprocket.
12 Place washer, spring and washer over the cable and
into the bushing, press into place and insert circlip into
groove. (fig. C5626)
13 Connect the cable eyelet to the brake pull off
assembly. Lower the restraint bar to release the brakes.
Check the clearance between the brake pin and the axle
sprocket. This clearance is 3/16”-1/4”. If the clearance is
incorrect, the pin assembly has to be removed and an
adjustment made at the connection between the pin and
the cable. Always ensure that the cable is inserted at least
5/16” into the pin.
14 When the correct pin to sprocket clearance is set,
dis-connect the cable eyelet from the brake pull off
assembly. Slide the brake boot over the cable end, gluing
the small boot end to the cable with Loctite prism 480 or
equivalent.. Install the large boot end over the transmis-
sion bushing and use a ratchet clamp to hold it in place.
15 Re-connect the cable eylet to the brake pull off
assembly. (fig. 5627) Do not over tighten, the eyelet
should be snug, but loose enough to pivot easily as the
brake is operated. Note that the brake cables must be re-
installed in the same pattern as shown in fig. C5627,
right hand cable to the bottom of the pull off, left hand
cable to the top of the pull off.
