Cub Cadet 6284 manual Adjusting the Brakes, Adjusting Hydraulic Lift Feedback ROD

Page 26

ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

The tractor brakes are adjusted at the factory and should experience minimal wear if the tractor is operated normally. However, all brake pads are subject to wear and at some point the brake linkage may have to be adjusted.

Check the brake linkage as follows:

Place the tractor on a level surface.

Stop the tractor engine and engage the parking brake.

From the right/rear side of the tractor, check the gap between the flange of the brake rod and the ferrule connected to the transmission brake arm. The gap should be a minimum of .160". See Figure 32.

Check the gap of the brake rod on the left side of the tractor in the same manner.

If either gap is less than .160", the brake rod should be adjusted.

Adjust the brake linkage as follows:

Disengage the parking brake.

Remove the internal cotter pin and disengage the adjustment ferrule at the front of the brake rod from the brake link. See Figure 32.

Turn the adjustment ferrule onto the rod as needed to shorten the rod and acquire the

.160" minimum gap.

Reinstall the ferrule and internal cotter pin in the brake link.

Engage the parking brake and recheck the brake rod gaps. Repeat the above procedures as necessary to obtain the specified minimum gap.

ADJUSTING HYDRAULIC LIFT FEEDBACK ROD

Correct adjustment of the feedback rod (Refer to Figure 33) is instrumental in proper operation of the position control hydraulic lift system.

The feedback rod is adjusted at the factory and should not require further adjustment. Because of the precise nature of the feedback rod adjustment, it is recommended that any adjustment be per- formed by a qualified mechanic at your Cub Cadet dealer.

If a high pitched squeal continues to emit from the lift valve after repositioning the lift, or the position control feature is not functioning properly, have the position control linkage inspected by your local Cub Cadet dealer. Refer to Figure 33.
