  2. When the brake dragging force is large, inspect whether there is dragging in the brake or brake shoe.

Specifications: 

  Braking force
Rear wheel total 10% or more of load on front or rear wheels
Difference between right and left wheels 8% or less of load on front or rear wheels
Grand total 50% or more of vehicle weight at the time of test

When measurement is difficult to carry out because both of front wheels are locked, check if braking force measurement in this condition conforms to standard grand total.
