3000 Mile<br />

Adjust Hydraulic Brakes<br />

Adjust hydraulic brakes every 3000 miles (5000 km).<br />

Crushing weight could cause death or serious injury. Use proper<br />

procedures and equipment or stay away.<br />

1. Use a jack and suitable jack stands to raise<br />

wheels so that wheels can be rotated by<br />

hand.<br />

2. Rotate wheel forward by hand to reposition<br />

free backing primary brake shoe.<br />

3. Remove adjusting plug from backing plate at<br />

wheel.<br />

4. Use a slender screwdriver or similar tool to<br />

push the adjuster screw spring (1) away from<br />

the adjuster assembly.<br />

5. At the same time, use a brake adjusting tool<br />

to tighten adjuster assembly (2). Adjust until<br />

brake linings become tight enough that wheel<br />

cannot be turned by hand, then back off 11<br />

clicks for brakes that have not been used, and<br />

15 clicks for brakes already burnished in.<br />
