The
overrun device can be described as the control device of
the overrun brake system. A draw-bar force is produced
at the coupling point by reducing the speed of the towing
vehicle. After the threshold level has been passed, the
draw shaft is pushed in, thus actuating the overrun lever,
the wheel brakes (1 & 2) are then applied via the expanding
clutch (3) (Fig 2) |
|
Before adjusting
the wheel brakes always rotate the wheel(s) in the
forward direction |

Check the condition of the brake shoes.
The wear on the shoes is greatest where the inspection hole is located on the
backplate. The leading shoe usually wears faster than
the trailing shoe.
Always
replace brake shoes as a pair.
