SECTION 3
Adjusting the Brake Band
The brake band my need to be adjusted periodically to compensate for the normal wear
of the brake lining or pad on the band. To adjust the brake band, do the following:
1. Park the vehicle in a clean, flat area and remove the key.
2. Block the tires to prevent the vehicle from accidently moving.
3. Lift and secure the deck.
4. Tighten the brake band anchor bolt until brake pad engages the drum
with sufficient force to stop the vehicle when the brake pedal is
halfway down to the floor board.
NOTE: With this adjustment, the parking brake is automatically
adjusted, so that when the lower slot of the pedal engages the
locking angle welded to the frame proper braking force is
applied. As the lining wears, the pedal travel will increase to
the point where the upper slot must engage the locking angle
to provide adequate braking force. The brake band must be
adjusted before lining wear reaches the point where
engagement in the upper slot fails to provide adequate braking
force.
SS5-34 Brake System
The SS5-34 comes standard with a mechanical drive line brake. The brake drum is
attached to the pinion shaft. The brake band is anchored to the frame of the vehicle
and attached to the brake pedal by the brake lever arm.
Here we will cover how to remove and service the mechanical drive line brake
system. Refer to the illustration in the beginning of this section
There are springs attached to parts of this braking
system. There is a possibility that these springs may
break or slip out of their mounting holes while
servicing the brake. To prevent possible injury to the
head or face a face shield should be worn whenever
you are working on or around the brake band.
