Adjustment of a manual brake

If the length of draught of a manual brake is adjusted incorrectly, the mechanism of the automatic jack of a backlash of a back brake cannot work. It will lead to an excessive free wheeling of a brake pedal.

ADJUSTMENT

1. Adjustment of length of draught of a manual brake is supported by action of automatic jacks of a backlash of a drum-type brake. The rope stretching, but more often adjustment sometimes is required to compensate is necessary after removal brake колодок, drums, ropes or the lever of a manual brake. Adjustment is carried out as follows. 2. Remove both drums of a back brake as Removal, survey and installation of drums of back brake mechanisms is described in Section. 3. Be convinced that regulator castors разжимных laths of the left and right brake knots rotate freely, then turn each castor back on 5-6 teeth. 4. Ask the assistant to displace the lever of a manual brake and be convinced that working levers of a manual brake of both brakes move easily and exactly. If it not so, check up ropes/kolodki on presence of damages and deterioration signs before to begin work. 5a. Completely let out the lever of a manual brake and be convinced that terminators on working levers rest against edges колодок. If it not so, correct length of a rope, using a regulator located on an underside of the lever of a manual brake. To get access to a regulator, disconnect and remove thermoisolation of final system which is located at a back part of the lever of a manual brake. 5b. Loosen the a counternut (where is available). 5c. Turn away an adjusting nut while the rope will not have a small free wheeling (address to illustrations). 6. Ask the assistant to move slowly the lever of a manual brake and observe movement of working levers on колодках. Levers should start to move to the moment when the lever of a manual brake is between the first and second cut of a ratchet that is when the manual brake is on the first cut, terminators still should adjoin to колодкам. If adjustment is necessary, ослабьте a counternut (where is available) and turn an adjusting nut. 7. Upon termination of adjustment reliably tighten a counternut. Establish thermoisolation of brake system and reliably tighten fastening bolts/nuts. 8. Establish brake drums as Removal, survey and installation of drums of back brake mechanisms is described in Section. Check up action of the mechanism of the automatic jack of a backlash, pressing a brake pedal. Ask the assistant to approach to drums and to listen, whether the clicks testifying to correct work of the mechanism will be distributed. 9. Establish wheels, then lower the car on the earth and tighten wheel bolts the effort resulted in Specifications.
