Brake adjustments.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

The disc brakes should engage when the pedal is pressed down to within a maximum of 1-3/16- inches and a minimum of 3/4-inch above the pedal stop.

The brake is engaged when the pedal arm is at least 3/4-inch above the pedal stop.

To adjust the brakes block the front wheels securely and raise the tractor so the rear wheels are off the ground.

NOTE: The brakes must not engage before the pedal is within the maximum distance of 1-3/16- inches.

With the rear wheels off the ground and the brake pedal in the locked position, the brake settings should be equalized as follows:

Disconnect left brake rod at the pinned end, rotate the right wheel by hand and adjust the jam nuts on the brake rod until the wheel brakes firmly. Then, disconnect the right brake rod at the pinned end

and reconnect the left brake rod. Turn the left

wheel by hand and adjust the jam nuts until the wheel brakes firmly. Reconnect the right rod.
