BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1
The brake adjustment spring can be accessed by re-
moving the inspection hatch (1).
The adjustment is to be made with the parking brake

rod (and thus shortening the length of the spring).
Loosen the nut (4) which retains the bracket (5) and
then turn the nut (6) so that the length «A» of the
spring (2) is:
