If the automatic adjusting mechanism does not perform properly, check the following:

Check the cable end fittings. The cable ends should fill or extend slightly beyond the crimped section

of the fittings. If this is not the case, replace the cable.

Check the cable guide for damage. The cable groove should be parallel to the shoe web, and the body

of the guide should lie flat against the web. Replace the cable guide if this is not so.

Check the pivot hook on the lever. The hook surfaces should be square with the body on the lever for

proper pivoting. Repair or replace the hook as necessary.

Make sure that the adjusting screw starwheel is properly seated in the notch in the shoe web.
