Parking Brake
Visually check that no damage is found on the lever, links, or switch belonging to the parking brake. Perform a standstill test and check that there is sufficient braking action.
WARNING!
Faulty adjustment results in reduced braking ability and can cause an accident.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The machine must be standing still when applying the parking brake.
Parking Brake Adjustments
1.Using a jack stand, raise the rear of the mower up off the ground. Make sure the machine is securely supported.
2.Remove the rear tire assemblies.
3.Release the park brake.
4.Measure the distance from the swivel to the washer. (See Illustration). The measurement should be 1¾" on both the right and left side brake linkage assemblies.
5.If adjustments are needed, loosen B jam nut and turn A jam nut until the correct distance is achieved. Retighten B jam nuts against A jam nuts.
