Adjusting the Brake

If the DR® POWERWAGON™ rolls on slopes when the parking brake is set, or you can't get the parking brake to set, the brake needs to be adjusted.

Tool Needed:

• 1/2" wrench

!WARNING: Always disconnect the

spark plug wire before servicing your machine.

1.	With the machine on a level surface, set
	the parking brake.
2.	Put the transmission in Neutral.
3.	Test the brake: Try to roll the machine. It
	should not move forward or back with the
	parking brake set.
4.	If the machine does move, turn the nut on	Figure 27
	the transaxle (Figures 27 & 28) 1/4 turn

clockwise to tighten the brake. Repeat Steps 1-3 and readjust if needed.

Note: Turn the nut only 1/4 turn at a time, then test the brake to see if further adjustment is needed.

If you can't get the parking brake to release, turn the nut on the transaxle (Figures 27 &

28)1/4 turn counterclockwise to loosen the brake. Repeat Steps 1-3 and readjust if needed.

Brake Cable Adjustment

The brake cable is factory-set (Figure 29). If you think the brake cable needs to be adjusted, you may actually need to replace the brake pads. Please see page 15 for instructions.
