Adjust DSH Brake

1. Adjust the DSH brake through the forward adjustment slot
(toward the front of the vehicle) at the bottom of the backing
plate.
2. Insert an adjusting tool through the forward slot of the
backing plate to engage the star wheel on the adjustment
bolt. To move the shoes closer to the brake drum, move
the tool handle down. The adjusting tool pivots against
the backing plate slot and rotates the star wheel in the
direction opposite to the handle movement.
3. Adjust the linings until a light resistance can be felt when
the brake drum is rotated. Then adjust in the other direction
until the brake drum can just rotate freely.
4. If the brake has a parking brake lever, adjust the parking
cable until a light resistance can be felt when the brake
drum is rotated. Then adjust the cable in the opposite
direction until the brake drum can rotate freely. Apply and
release the parking brake to see that it operates correctly.
