radiator (Figure 49) with compressed air. Start from
the front and blow the debris out toward the back.

front. Repeat procedure several times until you remove
all chaff and debris.

Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Service Brakes

Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 25 mm (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 braking resistance is felt.
1. Disengage the locking latch from the brake pedals so
that both pedals work independently of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of the brake pedals, tighten the
brakes:
A. Loosen the front nut on the threaded end of the
brake cable
1. Brake cable
B. Tighten the rear nut to move the cable backward
until the brake pedals have 13 to 25 mm (1/2 to
1 inch) of free travel.
C. Tighten the front nuts after the brakes are adjusted
correctly.
