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 />
