1. CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Checking Brake Rod
CAUTION
• When checking, park the machine on flat ground.
• Work by two people when you measure pressure.
1. Remove the tension spring (5) from the bypass link 2 (6).
2. Remove the brake return spring (3).
3. Adjust the link length using the turnbuckle (1) so that the brake
lever (2) has no play.
IMPORTANT
• After adjusting the brake rod, be sure to adjust the tension
spring (5) as well.
(Adjusting procedure)
1. Adjust the length of tension bolt (4) to remove allowance of the
tension spring (5). By adjusting the length of the tension bolt (4),
remove allowance of the tension spring (5). (To adjust the length,
the tension spring (5) must be removed from the bypass link (6)
to turn the tension bolt (4).)
2. After removing allowance of the tension spring (5), remove the
tension spring (5) once and rotate the tension bolt (4) clockwise
by one turn. (A slight tension is given to the tension spring (5).)
(Reference)
• Turning torque of the rear axle at this time is 9.8 to 14.7 N·m (1
to 1.5 kgf·m, 7.2 to 10.8 ft-lbs).
CAUTION
• Over-pulling due to poor turnbuckle adjustment can result in
the problem of brake drag (overheating and burning).
