BRAKE DRUMS
The front wheel brake drum is a shrunk in fit in the hub shell (assembled under heat)
and secured additionally by five screws,
The rear wheel brake drum is integral with the rear wheel sprocket and is retained to
the wheel hub by five bolts and nuts. Under each nut is a lock washer of the " tab "
type and it is essential these are always in position.
Harshness in transmission can be caused by the drum retaining bolts and nuts being loose.
Rear wheel spokes will break for the same reason.
BRAKE SHOES
The front and rear brake shoes, springs and expanders are interchangeable. The two
shoes in each brake are
N O T
identical, they are " handed."
One end of each shoe bears on a fulcrum fixed in the brake cover plate. The other end
accommodates a detachable thrust pin. By inserting washers under a thrust pin its
effective height can be increased, thereby compensating for wear on the brake linings.
BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT
Brake adjustment, to compensate for lining wear, is normally made by means of a finger
adjuster on the rear brake rod and a cable adjuster for the front brake cable.
After a very considerable mileage this continual adjustment causes the brake cam to
occupy a position whereby the available leverage is considerably reduced and, as a result,
the brake loses efficiency.
To overcome this a hardened headed thrust
pin is fitted to each shoe to enable a packing
washer to be fitted under the head as. and
when, required. Eight of these washers
(000174) are provided in the tool kit.
When wear of the brake linings is taken up
in this manner it is then necessary to
unscrew considerably the adjusting nut on
the rear brake rod, or screw in the cable
adjuster of the front brake cable, and
afterwards adjust the brake, as described
afterwards.
When a brake cover plate has been disturbed,
it is advisable, upon re-assembly, to centralise
the shoes In the brake drum to ensure equal
pressure to each. In the case of the front
wheel this is best done before re-fitting the
wheel to the machine, but in the case of the
rear wheel it is best done after re-fitting.
If brake shoes tend to squeak, when the brake
is applied it is generally an indication the
brake shoes are not centralised in the drum,
