CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PARKING BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT:

Position parking brake lever in the off or disengaged position.

This will allow the belt idler used on the engine to T-box to swing fully and apply tension to the belt.

At this time, check that the cable which pulls the idler to a neutral position has approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches of free play.

If adjustment is required, loosen the lock nuts on the cable block and turn cable sleeve in or out to achieve desired measurement.

Re-tighten lock nuts.

NOTE: Cable must have the above dimension with parking brake released or drive belt may slip, causing loss of power.
