  13. Check piston stroke of second coast brake (B-1)

    Place a mark on the second coast brake piston rod as shown in Fig 15 .

    Using feeler gauge, measure the stroke applying the compressed air (390 - 780 kPa or 57 -114 psi) as shown in Fig 16 .

    Piston stroke:  1.5 - 3.0 mm (0.059 - 0.118 in)

    If the values are nonstandard, replace piston rod and recheck piston stroke.

    If piston stroke is nonstandard, replace brake band.

    There are two piston rods.
