GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
This section has a description and the service procedures for the brake system. The brake system includes the following parts: master cylinder, master cylinder with brake booster [only available lift truck models H2.00–3.00XL (H40–60XL)], brake shoes, wheel cylinders, a single inching/brake pedal and
linkage, and the parking brake system.
Two sizes of service brakes are used on the H3.00XL (H60XL) lift trucks: a 260 mm (10.25 in) or a 310 mm (12.20 in). New drive wheels and tires are required for the larger diameter service brake. Both sizes of service brakes are described in this section. A troubleshooting section is included at the end of this section.
SERVICE BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Service Brakes
A service brake assembly is installed on the brackets at each end of the drive axle. The parts of the service brake assembly for the 260 mm (10.25 in) brake are shown in FIGURE 2. The parts of the service brake assembly for the 310 mm (12.20 in) brake are shown in FIGURE 13. When the brake pedal is pushed, fluid pressure from the master cylinder causes the pistons in the wheel cylinder to extend. The pistons expand the brake shoes against the drum.
The clearance between the brake shoes and the brake drum is adjusted automatically. An adjuster linkage turns the adjuster wheel to adjust the clearance. When the lift truck moves in the REVERSE direction and the brakes are applied, the rear brake shoe and the adjuster links move with the drum. This linkage moves the adjuster lever to rotate the adjuster wheel. The adjuster wheel can turn only when there is clearance between the lining of the brake shoe and the brake drum. The adjuster wheel can also be turned with a tool. A hole in the drum is used for access to the adjuster wheel in the 260 mm (10.25 in) brake. A slot in the back plate gives access to the adjuster wheel in the 310 mm (12.20 in) brake.

Parking Brake
The parking brake system uses the service brake shoes. Additional linkage activates the parking brake system. When the lever is moved to apply the parking brake, the cables and linkage expand the brake shoes against the drum. The design of the parking brake linkage adjusts each cable so that the tension is the same when the lever is moved to apply parking brake.
REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY OF THE 260 mm (10.25 in) SERVICE BRAKES
WARNING
Brake linings can contain dangerous fibers. Breathing the dust from these brake linings is a cancer or lung disease hazard. Do not create dust! Do not clean brake parts with compressed air or by brushing. Use vacuum equipment approved for asbestos dust or follow the cleaning procedure in this section. When the brake drums are removed, do not create dust.
Do not sand, grind, chisel, hammer or change linings in any way that will create dust. Any changes to brake linings must be done in a restricted area with special ventilation. Protective clothing and a respirator must be used.

CLEANING
WARNING
DO NOT use an oil solvent to clean the master cylinder, wheel cylinder, or the brake linings. Use a solvent approved for cleaning of brake parts. Do not permit oil or grease in the brake fluid or on the brake linings. Oil and grease will cause damage and leaks in the seals of a brake system. The brakes will not operate correctly if oil, grease, or brake fluid is on the brake linings.
WARNING
Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic, and can cause skin irritation. When using cleaning solvents, always follow the safety instructions of the solvent manufacturer.
1. Do not release brake lining dust from the brake linings into the air when the brake drum is removed.
2. Use a solvent approved for cleaning of brake parts to wet the brake lining dust. Follow the instructions and cautions of the manufacturer for the use of the solvent. If a solvent spray is used, do not create brake lining dust with the spray.
3. When the brake lining dust is wet, clean the parts. Put any cloth or towels in a plastic bag or an airtight container while they are still wet. Put an “ASBESTOS” warning label on the plastic bag or airtight container.
4. Any cleaning cloths that will be washed must be cleaned so that fibers are not released into the air.
CAUTION
Do not permit oil or grease on the brake linings because the brakes will not operate correctly. Use a brake cleaning fluid as necessary to clean brake linings that will be installed again.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the bore of the wheel cylinder for holes or scratches. Replace the wheel cylinder assembly if there is any damage.
2. Inspect the return springs for defects. Inspect the back plate for wear where the brake shoes touch the back plate. remove any grooves worn into the back plate.
3. Inspect the brake shoes for cracks or damage. If the linings or shoes are worn or damaged, replace the brake shoes. Maximum wear is to within 1 mm (0.039 in) of contact with the rivets, or the metal shoe on bonded linings. Brake shoes must be replaced in complete sets. Inspect the brake drums for cracks or damage. Replace any damaged parts.
WARNING
The brake shoes on both wheels must be replaced if any shoe is damaged. The brake performance on both ends of an axle must be equal or the lift truck can be difficult to steer when the brakes are applied.
4. Inspect the brake drum for deep grooves or other damage.
NOTE: If grooves must be removed from the brake drums, do not grind more than 1.5 mm (0.060 in) from the internal diameter of the brake drum. The maximum limit of the internal diameter of the brake drum is 262.7 mm (10.35 in). If the internal diameter is larger than the limit, replace the brake drum.
5. The teeth of the adjuster wheel must not be worn. The adjuster wheel must turn freely. Check the adjuster links for damage.
6. Make sure the parking brake levers and crank move freely.
7. Check the grease seals and the surfaces for the seals for wear or damage.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF THE 260 mm (10.25 in) SERVICE BRAKES
1. Assemble the wheel cylinder. See FIGURE 3. Use only HYSTER APPROVED parts.
2. Install the wheel cylinder on the back plate. Make sure the special fitting for removing the air is in the top hole. Put LoctiteR 271 on the threads of the capscrews. Tighten the two capscrews that are near the top of the wheel cylinder to 78 to 85 N.m (58 to 66 lbf ft). Tighten the two larger capscrews to 80 to 102 N.m (67 to 75 lbf ft).
3. See FIGURE 5. Put the retainer pins that hold the brake shoes through the back plate. Install the shield and back plate on the axle housing.
in the pivot plate. Install the pivot plate (12), links and cotter pin.
NOTE: The upper link for the left brake assembly is not the same as the upper link for the right brake assembly. Install the pivot plate (12) so that the letter “L” is seen on the left brake assembly. Install the pivot plate (12) on the right brake assembly so that the letter “R” is seen.
4. See FIGURE 4. and FIGURE 6. Tighten the two special capscrews (6) for the parking brake levers (8) to 244 N.m (180 lbf ft). Tighten the capscrews that hold the back plate to the axle housing to 245 N.m (180 lbf ft). Install the washer and the special capscrew (15) that is the anchor for the return springs. This capscrew (15) must be tightened to 125 N.m (92 lbf ft). Make sure the washer is installed so that the capscrew (15) does not loosen during operation.
7. Lubricate the back plate with a small amount of grease where the shoes touch. Install the brake shoes. Install the retainer spring assembly. See FIGURE 7. Put a spring seat, spring and retainer on the pin. Push the retainer on to the pin and rotate the retainer 90 degrees to lock the pin into the retainer. Install the other spring assembly.
8. Put an anti–seize compound on the threads of the adjuster wheel. Install the adjuster wheel assembly between the two brake shoes. Make sure the adjuster wheel is toward the rear of the lift truck.
WARNING
5. Install the parking brake levers (8) and cable (4). Install the snap rings. Install the cable guide (5) and snap ring on the crank (24) for the parking brake.
6. Install the pivot pin (10) through the brake shoe that is toward the rear of the lift truck. Install the links (16) (17)
The threads of the adjuster wheel are not the same for each brake assembly. If the adjuster wheel assemblies are installed on the wrong brake, the brake shoe clearance will increase each time the brakes are applied. The adjuster wheel for the right brake has left–hand threads. The adjuster wheel for the left brake has right–hand threads.
Turn the adjuster wheel into the adjuster nut so that the adjuster assembly is in its shortest position. This action permits the brake drum to be easily installed over the brake shoes.
9. Install the link in the adjuster wheel actuator. Put the adjuster wheel actuator in the hole in the brake shoe. Fasten the spring to the adjuster wheel actuator and the brake shoe. The spring must be installed in the position shown in FIGURE 8. Install the return springs for the brake shoes. Make sure the return springs are installed in

the hub so that the clearance of the brake shoes can be adjusted.
12. Adjust the hub bearings by tightening the nut to 205 N.m (150 lbf ft) while rotating the hub. Loosen the nut until the hub turns freely. The torque must be less than 27 N.m (20 lbf ft). Tighten the nut to 34 N.m (25 lbf ft) or until the first alignment position after 34 N.m (25 lbf ft). Bend the lock plate over the nut.
13. Adjust the clearance of the brake shoes. Put a brake adjustment tool or a screwdriver through the hole in the drum. Turn the adjuster wheel so that the teeth of the adjuster wheel nearest the back plate move upward. Turn the adjuster wheel until the hub will not turn. Pull the actuator away from the adjuster wheel and turn the adjuster wheel approximately 15 teeth in the opposite direction. The brakes will adjust to the correct clearance when they are applied while the lift truck is traveling in the REVERSE direction.
NOTE: If the brake shoes were not replaced, loosen the adjuster wheel approximately 25 teeth.
CAUTION
If there is too much clearance, the automatic adjusters will not operate. If the clearance is too small, the automatic adjuster cannot turn the adjuster wheel to increase the clearance and the adjuster wheel will not turn until the brake shoes wear. If the adjuster wheel does not move for a long operating period, the adjuster link can wear a spot on the adjuster wheel so that it will not turn correctly.
14. Put sealant on the flange of the axle shaft. Install the axle shaft and capscrews. Tighten the capscrews to 98 N.m (72 lbf ft).
Adjustments
1. Remove the air from the brake hydraulic system. See the procedure “Remove The Air From The Brake System”, under CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS.
2. Install the wheel on the hub. Tighten the wheel nuts 610 to 650 N.m (450 to 477 lbf ft).
NOTE: To prevent damage to the inner oil seal when installing the hub, the hub and drum assembly can be temporarily fastened to the wheel. Align the height of the axle housing with hub bearings. Put grease under the wheel and slide the wheel toward the axle housing. Install the outer bearing and nut. Remove the wheel from
