within 13 to 25 mm, the star nut inside the brake
drum must be adjusted. However, before
adjusting the star nut, loosen the brake cable nuts
to prevent unnecessary strain on the cables.
3. Loosen the five wheel nuts holding the wheel and
tire assembly on the wheel studs.
4. Jack up the machine until the front wheel is off
the floor. Use jack stands or block the machine to
prevent it from falling accidentally.

tire assembly off the studs. Rotate the brake
drum until the adjusting slot is at the bottom and
centered over the star nut that adjusts the brake
shoes (Fig. 46).
