Auxiliary Brake Adjustment (Hydraulic)
Use the following procedure to inspect the auxiliary (foot)
brake system and adjust or bleed
if
necessary.
1. First check foot brake effectiveness by applying a
50 lb. (approx.) downward force on the pedal. The
top of the pedal should be at least 1, (25.4mm)
above the surface of the footrest (see III. 1). If less
than one inch, two things need to be examined:
Free Play:
118/1
to 114"
Ill. 1
Free play of the brake pedal should be 1/8 ~ 114 inch (3.2 ~ 6.35 mm).
Floorboard
Free play is adjusted by altering the length of the link connected to the brake pedal (the link is located behind the
footrest).
• To adjust, remove the cotter pin and clevis pin at the brake pedal. Loosen clevis adjuster lock
nut. To increase free play, shorten the link. To decrease free play, lengthen the link. Install the clevis on
the brake pedal and secure with a new cotter pin.
Bleeding:
If the free play is correct, then air is trapped somewhere in the system. Bleeding the auxiliary brake system is
accomplished in a conventional manner, except that there are two brake lines and bleeder screws on the Dual
Hydraulic caliper. Refer to page 9.30a for theory of operation and page 9.4 - 9.5 for bleeding procedure.
