    The document provides instructions for adjusting the brake on an RG operator. It describes loosening the actuator bolt jamb nuts and bolts. The actuator bolts should then be tightened until they touch the actuator plate, and the jamb nuts tightened. The door should be run to observe the brake shoes releasing from the brake drum when moving and returning to contact it when stopped. If the door drifts on stop, the tension bolt should be tightened incrementally until drifting stops and the shoes properly release from the drum. The brake is meant to hold the door stopped, not decelerate it, and overtightening the tension bolt can cause damage.
