Alignment
NOTE
Prior to performing any brake control alignment or adjustment, do the following: Block vehicle in place
and fully release vehicle brakes (refer to TM 9-2350-256-10); Disconnect left and right brake lever
rods from brake-apply levers; Check each brake-apply lever (point 1). Each lever must be in its fully
released position against its external stop with no free travel. If not, use a 9/16-in. socket wrench and,
while pushing in with socket wrench to release adjustment bolt, turn bolt clockwise to position each
lever against its stop.
1.
Loosen nuts on linkage rods and insert 1/8-in.- (3.2 mm-) diameter locating pins at points indicated. Adjust rods as
necessary to permit pinning.
2.
While brake control pedal is pinned, adjust brake control pedal height stop.
3.
With brake-apply levers in fully released position against their stops, adjust rear brake rods equally at both ends until clevis
holes in rod ends align with bottom holes in brake-apply levers. Connect rods to levers.
4.
Tighten all nuts and remove locating pins.

lever against its stop.
1.
With brake not applied and each brake-apply lever against its stop, measure 3 in. (76.2 mm) back on each rod from brake
adjustment indicator and place mark 1/2-in. (12.7 mm) wide on rod so centerline of mark is 3 in. (76.2 mm) from centerline
of indicator (point 2).
