BRAKE INSTALLATION
- Install brake wheel.
- Slip brake on brake wheel.
- With clamp nut B loose, tighten adjusting nut A to clamp brake shoe tight against the brake wheel.
- Level brake base by plumbing center of brake wheel shaft to index hole C in base of the brake.
- Add shims between the brake and support. Bolt brake base to support.
- Install brake actuating cylinder between pins D and E.
- Using F-17 copper gasket seals, screw short thread end of armored hose into both actuating cylinder ports. Wrench tighten to provide leak-free proof seals.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
- Start with brake shoes clamped tight against the brake wheel per item 3.
- Loosen adjusting nut A three turns. Tighten clamp nut B.
- Both brake shoes should now be approximately 1/32" from the brake wheel. If both shoes are not an equal distance from the wheel, adjust self-centering mechanism. (See item C above.)
Follow "Brake Adjustment" instructions when readjustment is necessary to compensate for lining wear.
