TO CHECK AND ADJUST BRAKE

Your tractor is equipped with an adjust- able brake system which is mounted on the right side of the transaxle.

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on

a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be checked and ad-

justed.

TO CHECK BRAKE

1.Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and engage parking brake.

2.Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in "transmission

disengaged" position. Pull freewheel control out and into the slot and

release so it is held in the disengaged

position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manually push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, the

brake needs to be adjusted or the pads need to be replaced.

TO ADJUST BRAKE

1.Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and engage parking brake.

2.Measure distance between brake

operating arm and nut "A" on brake rod.

3.If distance is other than 1-9/16",loosen jam nut and tum nut "A" until distance becomes 1-9/16". Retighten jam nut against nut "A".

4.Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in "transmission engaged" position.

5.Road test tractor for proper stopping distance as stated above. Readjust if necessary. If stopping distance is still greater than five (5) feet in highest gear, further maintenance is neces- sary. Replace brake pads or contact a

Sears or other qualified service center.
