Replacing
When it becomes necessary to renew the brake-shoes or pads it is essential that
brake-shoes
only genuine replacements, with the correct grade of lining, are used. Always fit
and pads
new shoes as complete axle sets, never individually or as a single wheel set.
Serious consequences could result from out-of-balance braking due to mixing
of linings.
Replacement brake-shoes are obtainable from your Distributor or Dealer under
the Service Exchange Scheme, see page 85.
Hand brake
The hand brake is automatically adjusted with the rear brakes. If there is excessive
movement of the hand brake lever, consult your Distributor or Dealer.
Lubrication
Charge the nipple on the hand brake cable with one of the recommended
Fig.
5 greases.
Servo filter
The filter should be cleaned at the recommended intervals with compressed air
Fig.

the filter.
Removing the filter. Lever the dome (1) off the valve cover, remove and clean
the filter (2).
When refitting, make sure that the air valve spring (3) is securely located onto
the valve, refit the filter (2) and snap-fit the dome
(1)
onto the valve cover.
Visual check
Examine the clutch and brake hoses, pipes, unions, and joints for tightness and
general condition. It is most important to ensure that no chafing of connections
or pipes develops at any time, and that leakages are rectified immediately.
