Figure 2.5-2 Sidecar Wheel Brake
The front wheel brake (Fig. 2.5-1) has double leading shoes actuated by separate cams. Tie rod (11) of
the upper and lower levers of the brake is factory-adjusted to length so as to equalize the brake cams.
To return the levers to their initial position when the brake lever is released, a spring (9) is installed on
the bottom lever. The rear wheel and sidecar wheel brakes are both single leading shoe.
The brake shoes are provided with adjusting bolts (5) to compensate for the wear of the shoe linings.
The adjusting bolts control the gap between the brake shoes and the brake drum. For normal
performance of the brake, there must be a correct gap between the shoes and the drum. If there is no
gap, the linings rubbing on the brake drum will overheat and cause rapid wear of the linings. Tight
shoes may even expand sufficiently to seize the drum. However, if the gap is too large, the brake
cannot be applied with full force.
Brake shoe gap can be measured through inspection holes in the cover of the brake drums and final
drive case. Inspection holes are closed with rubber plugs.
Brake Adjustment
Note: The front brake lower lever is set at a distance of 85 mm (3.3 in) from its vertical axis to the
adjusting screw bracket center. Angle of deviation of the rear brake lever backward from the vertical
axis of the final drive equal to (33±5)° should be ensured after necessary disassembly of the lever with
the brake shoes cam. The brake adjustment is performed with the wheels jacked up.
The front wheel brake is adjusted by an adjusting screw located on the drum cover and the foot brake,
by an adjusting nut situated on the rear end of the brake tie rods.
