4.3 BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

Reduced braking power is corrected by adjusting
the spring on the brake rod which can be reached
after having lifted the wheels cover.
u Lift the wheels cover [see 2.5].
The adjustment is to be made with the parking
brake engaged and consists of altering the length of
the spring to the best measurement. The braking
capacity is increased by screwing the nut down on
the rod (and thus shortening the length of the
spring).
➤ In mechanical drive models:
(Peerless MST 205-541 E - Dana 4360-210):
➤ In hydrostatic drive models:
(Peerless LTH 2000-004C):
Loosen the nut (1) which retains the bracket (2)
and then turn the nut (3) until the spring (4) is 46 -
48 mm long, measured from the inside of the
washers.
When the adjustment has been made, tighten the
nut (1).
Never go under these amounts to avoid over-
loading the brake unit.
If braking is still poor or uneven even after having
made the adjustment, uncouple the pin (7) of the
control rod (8) from the lever (5) uncouple the
control rod (8 ) pin (7) or from the lever (5) while
the pedal is fully released, and then check that
this lever has a free movement of 12 mm before
beginning the braking action.
If this is not the case, it is possible to adjust the
free movement at the nut (6), unless the brake
pads or disc are so worn that they need replacing
[see 6.8].
Refit the pin (7) with the control rod (8) and fully
tighten the nut (9); then recheck the length of the
spring (4).
➤ In hydrostatic drive models:
(Tuff Torq K46T)
Turn the nut (10) so that the spring (11) is 45 - 47
mm long, measured from the inside of the wash-
ers.
Never go under these amounts to avoid over-
loading the brake unit.
NOTE
No further adjustments to the braking system are
required.

When the adjustments have been made, the parking
brake should prevent the machine from moving on a
slope of 30% (16°) with the driver in position.
u Close up the wheels cover [see 2.5].
