BRAKE SETTING
1. Remove the brake arm bias spring, and
then the cotter pin securing the brake castle
nut.
2. Insert a 0.015" feeler gage between the
brake disc and top brake puck, and then set
the brake by finger tightening or loosening
the castle nut.
3. Install a new cotter pin to secure the castle
nut, and then install the brake arm bias
spring.
FRICTION PACK ADJUSTMENT
The friction pack dampens or holds the opera-
tor control lever in its desired position.
Adjustment for the amount of drag or holding
force can be made by turning the friction pack
nut in or out.
Adjustments should be made in no more than
1/4 turn increments.
Over-tightening will result in difficulty or inability
of the operator to move the control lever.
Note: The factory setting for the friction pack is
tightening of the friction pack nut to 100 in-lbs
(11 Nm) torque. The friction pack nut is then
backed off per the vehicle manufacturer’s
specifications.
