6 - Maintenance
250 hours service - Inspect parking brake
Inspect the following:
The parking brake lever: If it can be pulled further backwards than
90° (midway), using a traction of approximate 25 kg., the cable
needs to be adjusted.
The parking brake cable: When the parking brake is relieved, the
cable must be limp; otherwise it needs to be adjusted.
Correct length: When the brake is relieved the cable must be tight
and yet not stretched.
Lengthening/shortening of the parking brake cable is carried out by
adjusting the turnbuckle located inside the chassis.
Inspect the parking brake cables for possible wear or damages.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
250 hours service - Brake adjustment
Lift the back of the COMMANDER from the ground. It is recommen-
ded to use two lifting jacks, placed underneath the axle. Make sure
the COMMANDER is stable and secured before carrying out any
adjustments.
1. Place the handbrake in the first jag (A).
2. Loosen nut (B), lift and flip the small lock plate aside.
3. Adjust the nut (C) clockwise. Turn the nut 90° (1/4 turn) at a time -
alternately on both LH and RH brake.
After each 1/4 turn:
Check the hub by rotating it. Continue adjustment till resistance
occurs. This adjustment is completed, when each hub is strained.
WARNING! The following adjustment must be carried out
simultaneously on both brakes. Therefore, alternately adjust
on both LH brake and RH brake.
