bearings should make contact at all times.
Older Cross-Arm Brake Systems:
NOTE:
If it is necessary to visually inspect a polyurethane stop, the Control Panel housing must be
removed.
4. If brake tension requires adjustment, remove the Torx screw securing the brake handle to the brake
assembly and then remove the brake handle. Refer to the illustration below.
A. After removing the brake handle, turn the handle counter clockwise and reinstall the
brake handle on the brake assembly.

repositioning the brake handle, it may indicate a worn brake assembly.
