Chapter 3: Setup
Figure 3-21. Cart Caster Brake, Showing Spring and Pin
To allow an Operator to release the cart brakes when there is no cart LD Platform Cart Trans-
porter present, each cart comes with a brake-release cable and lever, similar to a bicycle hand
brake, that releases the cart brakes when squeezed.
NOTE:
The cart brake-release mechanism is actuated by the transporter when it
couples with the cart, so the cart will roll freely with the transporter. This part of
the brake release does not requires any user setup or adjustment.
Installation
The cart brake cable is attached on one end to the cart brake-release mechanism, and outfitted
on the other end with a bicycle-style brake lever, to release the cart’s brakes and allow an Oper-
ator to move the cart manually. It is up to the user to mount the brake-release lever at some loc-
ation on the cart, and route the brake-release cable from the brake-release lever to the actuator.
The brake-release lever comes with a 1524 mm (60 inches) cable. The lever has a clamp the fits
a 22 mm (7/8 inch) tube.
