NOTE: Long stroke chambers are identified with
square air ports or port bosses and special trapezoid
ID tags.
Measuring the Free Stroke
Free stroke is the amount of movement of the adjuster arm required to move the brake shoes
against the drum. With brakes released, measure from the face of the chamber to the center
of the clevis pin “A” (Figure 13). Use a lever to move the brake adjuster until the brake shoes
contact the drum “B” (Figure 13). The difference between the fully retracted and drum contact
measurement “B”–“A” (Figure 13), is the free stroke. The free stroke range should fall between
3/8”–3/4”.
Free Stroke Within The Range
If the free stroke is good, but the applied stroke is too long, there is probably a problem
with the foundation brake. Check the following and reference CVSA out-of-service criteria:

Note: Block wheels to prevent vehicle from rolling.
Ensure system reservoir pressure is at 90-100 psi.
Check that push rod is fully retracted; apply air to release spring brake.

Criteria:
The applied stroke of the brake should be checked per CVSA guidelines at
90-100 psi reservoir pressure. Applied stroke should be at or less than the specified
readjustment limits as shown below.
