to hold the barrel nut
(B), loosen the jam nut
(C) with a 10mm

3. With your left hand,
grasp the cables (D) as
close to the adjuster as
possible. Use your
right hand to rotate the
barrel nut until you
have reached the proper
brake lever adjustment.
4. Check the actuator
linkage to ensure there
is adequate freedom of
movement for positive
brake operation and
that all floating parts
move freely and that all
parts are mounted securely. Tighten hardware as required.
5. Tighten the adjuster jam nut and slide the rubber protectors back
onto the adjuster.
6. The brake band is adjusted correctly when there is 1/4” - 3/8”
(6-10mm) brake lever free play, and clearance between the brake
lever and block with the lever fully depressed is no more than 3/4”
(1.9cm). Torque the band bolt nut to 6 ft. lbs. (83 kg 2-m)
