ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE SHOE CLEARANCE
Air over hydraulic brake vehicles
If the brake linings are worn and the clearance between the brake drum and linings (brake shoe clearance) increases, it
can be dangerous because the brake performance deteriorates.
If the BRAKE pilot lamp lights, adjust and bleed the system immediately.
Leakage of brake fluid also causes the BRAKE pilot lamp to light. Check for fluid leaks, too.
1. Apply chocks to the tires before the wheel to be adjusted is jacked up.
2. Strongly push the outside periphery of tire with both hands to check for wheel looseness. If the wheel is loose, it can
鄄
not be correctly adjusted. Take the vehicle to your nearest service shop for correction.
3. Remove the dust plug from the shoe clearance adjusting hole.
