Adjust The Brakes; Adjust The Parking Brake - Taylor-Dunn SS-025-34 Operation, Maintenance, And Replacement Parts Manual

ADJUST THE BRAKES

NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting brakes. Other than the brake linkages, there is no manual adjustment.
Adjusting the brake linkage is only required when any part of the brake linkages are removed or replaced. Do not adjust the
brake linkage to compensate for a low brake pedal. A low brake pedal may be an indication that the auto-adjust mechanism is
not functioning properly. Refer to
mechanism.
Adjusting the brakes by means of the brake cables could cause a hard brake pedal with little or no
braking power. This could cause loss of control of the vehicle resulting in severe bodily injury and /or
property damage.
Adjust the Service Brake Linkage
The brake linkage is adjusted by means of the adjustment rod
at the brake cable equalizer. The adjustment rod should be
adjusted so that all slack is taken out of the linkages but the
brake arm on the left and right brake is not actuated. If the
brake cables are too tight, then the auto adjust mechanism
may not function correctly.

Adjust the Parking Brake

There is no seperate adjustment for the parking brake. The
parking brake should work properly as long as the service
brake linkage is adjusted properly
