Adjustment should be conducted separately for each wheel. Expander arm (1) should be
moved by one notch in chosen direction. If the extent of cylinder action is still incorrect, move
the lever again. After proper brake adjustment, at full braking, the expander arms should
create the angle o 90
approximately half the length of the total stroke of the piston. After brake release expander
arms may not be supported on any structural elements, because too little withdrawal of a
piston rod may cause abrasion of brake shoes in drum and result in overheating trailer
brakes. Expander arms must be positioned in parallel with regard to each other at full
braking. If this is not so, adjust the position of the lever, which has the longer stroke.
