5.7.1. Parking brake adjustment
The parking brake is adjusted by setting the initial cable tension by making a loop of a suitable length on
both cable ends.
The parking brake is functioning when it is capable of stopping the loaded spreader on a slope
with a grade of 18
o
.
5.7.2. Service brake adjustment
The braking system must be suitably adjusted to compensate the wear of the brake shoe linings. If the actuator
idle stroke is excessive, adjust as follows: remove the cotter pin (3), remove the crown nut (1), loosen the brake
expander lever (2) and shift the lever in the direction opposite to the braking motion in such way that the lever is
perpendicular to the brake actuator when the latter is in the braking position. If the brake linings are excessively
worn, replace them. After each adjustment make sure to tighten the crown nut and secure it with a new cotter pin.
Fig. 6. Service brake adjustment
When the brakes are properly adjusted, the spreading unit (t spreader) with the rated
load at 30 km/h should stop at 10 m from the brake engagement and the wheels should brake
uniformly.
When the spreader has made the first 100 km, check the brakes and adjust them if necessary.
