The following is the procedure for checking brakes:
1.
Check dimension ‘X’ before applying brakes
and again when brakes are applied. The
value for ‘X’ should be between 12 and
18 mm.
On hydraulic brakes (top picture) this is
usually the amount of exposed chrome
visible on cylinder rod.
On air-brake systems (bottom picture),
some fixed reference point must be used to
measure the actuator movement.
2.
If the value for ‘X’ is not within this
12 - 18 mm range, then the brake can be
adjusted using the adjuster screw, as
shown. Using a 14 mm spanner, turn the
adjuster screw clockwise to reduce the
value and anti-clockwise to increase. Apply
the brake again to check the measurement
and repeat this procedure until the
movement is within the designated range.
3.
Ensure the spring-loaded locking collar is
returned, to the locked position, to prevent
any further movement of the adjuster screw.
Repeat the procedure for both sides of the
machine and ensure brakes are being
applied evenly. Both sides should be
adjusted as closely as possible to the exact
same value.
