6. Thoroughly clean both sides of the oil coolers
and the radiator area with compressed air.

Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Service Brakes

Adjust the service brakes when there is more than
1 inch of free travel of the brake pedal, or when
the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is
the distance the brake pedal moves before you feel
braking resistance.
1. Disengage the locking pin from brake pedals
so that both pedals work independently of
each other.
2. To reduce free travel of the brake pedals,
tighten the brakes by loosening the front
nut on the threaded end of the brake cable
(Figure 68).
