D2 brake adjustment

I’m sure this is been covered in other threads but I couldn’t seem to locate it. I need to adjust the brakes on my D2 ,4U ,top seat. What I can gather from the maintenance manual is that it’s a two-step process and also a two person process. The first step is a little confusing to me .It says to turn the adjusting nut to tighten the brakes ,
I assume until the band is tight on the drum? And then you go underneath and back it off the one and a half turns on the other end of the adjustment to keep the lining off the drum, is that correct?

The adjuster on the underside is just to prevent the brake band from drooping down when not in use and therefore wearing out the top of the lining. So tighten that one up so that it is pressing the band against the drum, and then back it off the one and a half turns to provide the requisite gap.
Adjust the adjuster that is under the topside cover for actual pedal adjustment of 3-4 inches freeplay.

I don't think you need two people although it's helpful if you do. Adjust the pedal freeplay, then jam a 2x4 or something to depress the brake pedal so the band is tight around the drum, then adjust the underside standoff. Remove the 2x4 and check your freeplay then you're good to go.

Thanks for the input , I think the Cat manual makes it sound more complicated than it actually is. I’ll give that a try, thanks again
