wheels of the unit. If the parking brake springs need

to be adjusted both parking brake springs must be

 

 

adjusted equally.

 

 

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake,

stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

2. Locate the two (2) brake springs (A, Figure 32).

3.With the parking brake engaged, measure the compressed spring length. The spring should

be 2-5/8” - 2-11/16” (6,67 cm - 6,83 cm) when compressed.

4.

If the spring is not within this range, release the

parking brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

compress or release the spring.
