BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
After any maintenance on hubs, slack adjusters, or drums, perform the
brake adjustment procedure. Otherwise, brake rubbing or ineffective
braking may occur.
NOTE
The HEMAT is equipped with automatic slack adjusters. They adjust
constantly whenever braking is done, and compensate for lining and drum
wear. The slack adjusters must be initially installed as above and
adjusted as below in order for the automatic adjustment to function.
NOTE
Brakes must be off (wheels rotate freely).
b. Ensure that brake chamber bolts (1) are tight. If not, torque to 90-110 lb
