Brake Inspection &
Replacement
The linkage geometry on this lathe is non
adjustable. Before replacing the brake shoes,
verify that all fasteners are tight, and all clevis
pins and yokes have minimal wear. As pivot
points wear, the increased slop in the linkage
absorbs the usable stroke that is required for full
brake application. If the brake does not stop the
lathe as fast as it should, before replacing the
brake shoes, verify that the linkage is not worn
and is the cause of the problem.
