REAR  BRAKE  ADJUSTMENT

Major  adjustment  of the  rear  brake  shoes  is  made  on  the  brake  thrust  pins,  by  fitting
packing washers  under the  pins,  as already described.

Minor adjustment of the  rear  brake shoes is  made  by altering the  position,  on the  brake
rod,  of  the  knurled  adjusting  nut.  Screw  the  nut  further  on  the  rod  to  "take  u p "
the  rear  brake.

Adjust  rear  brake  by:

Place  machine on  centre stand.

Screw  further  on  the  brake  rod  the  knurled  adjusting  nut  t i l l ,  by  rotating  the  wheel,
it  can  be  felt  the  brake  shoes  are  just  touching  the  brake  drum.

Then  unscrew the adjusting nut five complete turns.  (The adjusting  nut is automatically
locked  in  position  by virtue of the two projecting noses on  it engaging in accommodating
slots  cut  in  the  clip  which  connects  the  brake  rod  and  brake  expander  lever  and  being
retained  in  that  position  by  the  spring  which  encircles  the  rear  end  of the  brake  rod).
