You must read this manual along with Utility Owners Manual before loading or towing your trailer. You must follow all safety precautions and instructions. futuratrailers.com Welcome to Futura Trailers Read before towing your trailer. Wheel separation can occur, for proper safety and performance the following checks should be performed at the specified intervals. Check wheel lug nut torque to 95 ft/lb, 10, 25 and 50 miles and before each tow. Trailer wheel lug nuts are prone to loosen after first being assembled. When towing a new trailer, or after wheels have been remounted, check to make sure the lug nuts are tight after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and before each tow thereafter. • Torque wheel lug nuts to 95 ft/lb in the sequence shown above. • Repeat sequence before each trip or whenever a wheel is removed or replaced. Check wheel bearings for heat and excessive play at 10, 25 and 50 miles. The wheel bearing play is set at the factory, however, the wheel bearings may need resetting after towing and should be checked regularly. • Tow the trailer for 10 miles at highway speeds. • Stop the vehicle and park in a safe location. • Place your hand on each of the wheel hubs of the trailer. If a hub is too warm to comfortably hold your hand on, the bearing is generating excessive heat and may be defective, have insufficient play or require lubrication. • Setting wheel bearings please refer to the Service and Maintenance section of this manual. • Check the wheel bearing for excessive heat or play again after 25 and 50 miles. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death! Additionally, failure to follow these instructions may subject you to personal liability penalties as determined by the U.S. Judicial System. Failure to follow these instructions may invalidate the product warranty. futuratrailers.com Operating your Futura Low Loader Learn how to safely and correctly operate the Futura Low Loader trailer.

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion. A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press against a rotating drum-shaped part called a brake drum. In this paper, we have studied the brake shoe of motor vehicles. A brake shoe is the part of a braking system which carries the brake lining in the drum brakes used on automobile or brake block in train brakes and bicycle brakes. A brake shoe is also known as a device which can be slow down railroad cars.

  • Drum Brakes Inspection & Service
    Drum Brakes Inspection & Service First you must get the drum off! • Some slide right off, • Some have to be hit with a hammer. • Some have holes to install two bolts (Tighten each bolt equally) Remove A Brake Drum Use penetrant around axle hub May need to hammer floating drum Wet down inside of drum to control dust before hammering Only hammer on the axle flange! (ask to be shown) May need to adjust brake shoes inward Remove A Brake Drum For a fixed brake drum you will need to carefully adjust the wheel bearings when done! There are many tricks to removing stuck brake drums. Before you break something ASK! Understand each piece and avoid mistakes Terminology Anchor Wheel Cylinder Brake Shoes Primary Secondary Return Springs Shoe hold downs Terminology Parking Brake Strut Parking Brake Cable Self Adjusters Backing Plate (often neglected) Backing Plates Backing plates are often overlooked and usually have grooved & worn shoe support pads Be sure to thoroughly clean backing plate and lightly lube the support pads • contact points on backing plate are called a shoe pad. They should be filed flat to prevent shoes from hanging up in deep grooves or better yet just replace the backing plate. Always lube Shoe Support Tabs with a thin layer of Synthetic Disc Brake Lubricant (or suitable lube) Be careful… do not use too much. Grease on brake shoes is BIG TROUBLE! Dual-Servo or Leading-Trailing • Drum brakes on Rear Wheel drive are most often Dual Servo. • They have a Primary and Secondary brake shoe • The Primary shoe friction material is shorter and it faces the front of the vehicle Dual Servo braking action Both brake shoes will pivot Primary shoe will wedge the secondary out into the drum Primary and secondary shoe will fit backwards, but not properly work Which is the primary shoe? Where is the front of this vehicle? Dual-Servo or Leading-Trailing • Drum brakes on Front Wheel drive are most often Leading-Trailing.

  • Introduction No. Description Installation the Arai™ Drum Brake
    For QBP part numbers BR5003 and BR5001 Introduction The Arai™ Drum brake is designed to be used with a rear tandem hub or any hub with right handed threading on the left side. The composite brake shoes and finned aluminum drum create a positive braking surface and rapid heat dispersion, making it ideal for mountainous terrain and all weather conditions. The Arai™ Drum brake can be used with either road or mountain brake levers and cables (not included). No. Description 1) Drum (BR5006) 2-3) Brake Shoe Assembly (BR5007) #2 & 3 4) Actuator lever (BR5005) 5) Cable Anchor Bolt 6) Barrel Adjuster Assembly 7) Chainstay Clamp Assembly 8) Guts Installation The Arai™ Drum Brake should be installed by a professional bicycle mechanic. 1. Remove inside and outside locknut from left side of hub. 2. Using hub spacers, create 12 to 15 mm of spacing between the edge of the hub and the outer edge of the spacing. See Diagram 2 above. 3. Lightly grease hub threads and spin on the drum (#1). The drum has right hand threading. Hand tighten. The drum will tighten with use. 4. Slip on the guts (#8). If axle does not fit through the brake arm plate (#3), carefully drill out the hole to a larger diameter. BR5001 is drilled for a 10.0 mm axle. BR5003 is drilled for a 9.5mm axle. 5. Add spacers and inside locknut until locknut-to-locknut dimension matches original dimensions. Note the brake arm plate is 2 mm thick. You may have to reduce the number of spacers accordingly.
