Manual Extract: Brake System Automatic Adjuster Test

(1) With all wheel brake components installed correctly, the drum-to-shoe clearance should be within the correct range of 0.4 to 0.6 mm (0.016 to 0.024 in.). Push the cable with thumb to pull the adjusting lever.
Observe that the lever turns the adjusting screw by one tooth, and push to observe the adjusting screw returns to the original position.

(2) If the lever fails or is sluggish to turn the adjusting screw in the above test, the possible cause is that the lever is not properly positioned relative to the sprocket wheel.
BE SURE that the lever is positioned so that its actuating tip touches the sprocket wheel at a level about 9 mm (0.35 in.) under the center line of the screw as shown.
(3) Where the automatic adjusting device is suspected of malfunctioning during normal operation, check the following for possible causes:
– Check that springs A and B are correctly installed.
– If any of following parts is in bad condition and requires replacement:
– Fitting cable
– Adjusting lever
– Adjusting screw
