Cummins N14 – C-Brake – Alternate Method

A feeler gauge, Part No. 3823802, can be used in place of the dial indicator in applications that do not have adequate
clearance for the indicator to be installed.

Insert the feeler gauge blade between the crosshead and both contact surfaces of the slave piston.
NOTE: An accurate C-Brake setting can only be obtained if the feeler gauge is below both contact surfaces of the
slave piston.

Tighten the slave piston adjusting screw until the slave piston contacts the feeler gauge and creates a slight
drag.

Use the torque wrench adapter, Part No. ST-669, to tighten the lock nut.
Torque Value: 24 N•m [18 ft-lb]
Repeat this procedure to adjust the remaining slave pistons.
