Be- M DC Laboraiory—Lecture IX Page 5 fore the making of any adjustment it is advisable to remove the long drivechain and to set tlie machine on the stand. If the brake does not hold prop-erly, loosen a few turns, then tighten the opposite nut. Be careful that thebrake is not set tight enough to drag; and to prevent this, turn the wheel aftermaking this adjustment. The wheel must be perfectly free after making theadjustment, and the brake lever must bear against the stop when released. Ifthe lever does not bear against the stop, brake action is lost. In this casereadjusting of the frame is necessary. Indian Brakes.—The external brake is operated by a finger latch on the lefthandle bar and can be applied by pulling upon this lever.

Now replace eye bolt and eye bolt pin as be-fore and test the brake by running the motor on the stand. If it does not holdsatisfactorily, screw eye bolt into the clevis another turn or two. When thebrake is released it should not drag or drum. To test for dragging, spin therear wheel by hand with the gear shift lever in the neutral notch and theclutch engaged. If the rear wheel does not spin freely, see if the externalbrake band is dragging. If such is the case, loosen the sciews on the frameclamp and move the clamp backward toward the rear end of the frame just alittle. Test the brake for dragging and continue moving the clamp very grad- Lahnratorij—Lecture IX Page 6 ually until the wheel runs free w
