How to Install the Electric Brakes
Before installing the electric brakes, remove the
protective LPS coating that is applied at the factory to
protect the drums and the shoe backing plates from
corrosion.
1. Remove all of the brake shoes and brake drums from
the kit and place them in a well-ventilated area.
2. Use an automotive brake cleaner to spray the brake
drums and brake shoes until the protective coating is
completely removed. You may need to spray twice
for best results.
Note: The following procedure covers how to install one
brake shoe assembly onto the MH-400 axle. For a four
wheel brake kit, there are four brake shoe assemblies: two
for the left axle assembly, and two for the right axle
assembly (Figure 52). For a two wheel brake kit, there
are two brake shoe assemblies: one for the left axle
assembly (outside wheel), and one for the right axle
assembly (outside wheel) (Figure 52).
I
MPORTANT: Do not mix up the brake shoe
assemblies (Figure 48). To ensure correct placement
on the axle assembly, check that the 6.25 mm (¼ in)
bolt welded on the bottom of the main axle assembly
faces down, and that the 6.25 mm (¼ in) bolt welded
on the mounting shaft faces the front of the MH-400.
(If you have any doubts or questions, call an
authorized Toro distributor.)
