Checking and adjusting brake wire

Rider 11

Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by measuring the distance between the brake lever and the front edge of the recess on the chassis. The distance should be 0–1 mm/0-0,040" when the brake is not applied.

1.Remove the lock nuts (1).

2.Stretch the wire with the adjuster screw (2) so that the distance between the brake lever and the front edge of the recess on the chassis is 1 mm/0,040".

3.Tighten the lock nuts (1) after adjustment.

When the brake wire has been adjusted, check that the brake lever does not have too much movement. If the lever's free movement exceeds 9 mm/3/8", this should be adjusted by tightening the nut on the brake lever.

Rider 13 and Rider 16

Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by positioning the ride-on mower on a gentle slope and applying the brake.

If the ride-on mower does not stand still, the brake needs to be adjusted.

The brake is adjusted in the following way:

1.Release the lock nuts (1).

2.Stretch the wire with the adjuster screw (2) until all the play in the wire disappears.

3.Tighten the lock nuts (1) and finally check that the brake is correctly adjusted.

WARNING!

A badly adjusted brake can lead to reduced braking capacity.
