Workman e2050/e2065 Transaxle and Brakes (Rev. B)Page 4 – 9
Installation (Fig. 3)
IMPORTANT:On Workman e2050 vehicles, the brake
actuator levers must be positioned below the trans-
axle mount. On Workman e2065 vehicles, the levers
should be positioned above the transaxle mount.
When positioned correctly, the brake actuator lev-
ers will point toward the rear of the vehicle (Fig. 4).
1. If brake assembly was removed from axle, position
brake assembly to the transaxle.
A. Secure brake assembly to the transaxle with four
(4) cap screws and nuts. Torque screws from 15 to 19
ft–lb (20 to 26 N–m).
B. On Workman e2065, position hydraulic brake
line to wheel cylinder. Connect brake line to wheel
cylinder.
C. Secure brake cable bracket to the brake actuator
lever with clevis pin and cotter pin (Fig. 4).
2. Install axle shaft into transaxle (see the Spicer Off–
Highway Components Model 12 (Electric) Maintenance
Manual at the end of this chapter).
3. Slide brake drum onto wheel hub making sure that
hole in drum aligns with hole in wheel hub on axle.
4. Position wheel assembly to the vehicle with valve
stem facing out and secure with five (5) lug nuts. Torque
lug nuts in a criss–cross pattern from 45 to 65 ft–lb (61
to 88 N–m).
5. Lower vehicle to ground.
CAUTION
After servicing the brakes, always check the
brakes in a wide open, level area that is free of
other persons and obstructions.
6. Check and adjust brakes (see Operator’s Manual).
Burnish Brake Shoes
To provide maximum brake performance after rear
brake shoes are replaced, burnish new brake shoe lin-
ings.
IMPORTANT:To prevent brake overheating, do not
drive vehicle with the brakes applied.
IMPORTANT:When burnishing brake shoes, do not
allow the brakes to lock up. Also, allow brakes to
cool between stops.
1. Drive vehicle while making 6 to 7 normal stops at
about 200 ft (60 m) intervals while traveling at 10 to 15
mph (16 to 24 KPH).
2. Make several normal stops with the vehicle going in
the reverse direction. This will self adjust the clearance
between the brake shoes and drum.
