Very informative lesson, THANK YOU crown619. I pretty much had already read everything that you had stated in the service manual and seen it in YouTube videos, but both of those left more questions to be answered before I could really start this job. You answered all of those with your very descriptive post. I've been turning wrenches for maybe 20 years, but this is my first lift truck, and I just yesterday got the service manual for this Yale GLP050 I am working on. Question, the reason I am adjusting the brakes is because something funny is happening so I am going to try and do a complete brake/inching adjustment and then see if I cant make the idle work...I was leaking brake fluid somewhere, then someone snapped the master cylinder rod so I replaced the master cylinder. I adjusted the pedal stopping bolt so that you only had to push the brake maybe an inch before they would engage, then adjusted the governor/inching adjustment accordingly. However, shortly after use, the brake "play" was completely gone...you could push the brake pedal and it was already completely engaged. You could put the truck in gear without pushing on the pedal and the truck would not move. So I backed down the pedal stop bolt to add the appropriate amount of play again (thinking that maybe the master cylinder just needed to be "broken in"), then shortly after that there was waaaaaaaaay too much play in the brake pedal, like 2-3 inches. I'm really confused. I am hoping that once I get the service brakes adjusted proper then I will be able to adjust the brake pedal correctly and have it be a little bit more stable...any ideas? Thanks!
