The pedals all depress and release. Left pedal is all the way to the floor and barely turns. Right pedal isn’t AS bad but still needs work. How do I adjust this? Center break only works in neutral
I’d make certain the park brake isn’t set unintentionally.
Get a book on it.
Can’t find what I’m looking for.
I checked and it’s not set
I’ve been operating for almost a year and a half now so I’m still learning. My boss said the brakes need adjusted but I haven’t been able to find any info or videos for guidance. He said under the seat there is a triangle shaped plate that I need to take off and then there will be 3 9/16 bolts/nuts I can tighten to adjust but I can’t find what he’s talking about. Like I said still learning.
If your 977L is a 14X, 64X, or 95X Serial Number then the attached procedure will work. For a complete Service Manual search the web for Cat Publication reference SENR7787. Be careful though because a new one only costs around $230 (see HERE ) and yet there are tatty used copies for sale on eBay where sellers are asking more than that.
It’s 11K unfortunately
Ah, an earlier model. 11K machines started life as 977K but were re-badged as 977L from 11K3919 onwards. 11K8499 must have been quite close to being one the last 11K machines built. See attachment. You need to be searching for a different Service Manual, REG00635. See HERE .
Thank you so much!!!
Do yourself a favour for the future and get a service manual. There is not a lot of information available online for machines of this era.
FWIW. In Nige's 2nd attachment it says to back the adjusting bolt off 12 clicks. Personally, I prefer and have had good luck backing it off 9 clicks. Probably mostly just personal preference and probably not a big deal either way. Just my $.02
Experience counts. I think as long as the brakes aren't dragging you should be fine.
