CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
With the brake handle in the release position, remove the cotter pin from the castle nut. Insert a 0.010 feeler gauge between the brake disc and the brake puck. Tighten the castle nut with the feeler gauge inserted until the gauge fits snugly between the disc and puck. The gap should not be so tight that the feeler gauge cannot be reinserted after removal. Back the castle nut to the closest pin hole and reinsert the cotter pin. Repeat for other side. See picture at right.

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION:
Before each use, check to be sure that the cooling fins of the hydrostatic transmissions are clean. Excessive accumulation of oil, dirt, or trash may cause the transmission to overheat. NEVER WASH ACROSS TOP OF RESERVOIR with water or steam. Fill reservoir as required per instructions page 25 of this manual.
SCALPER ROLLER BOLTS
Scalper roller bolts should be tightened until the spacer bushing will not turn relative to the scalper bracket to prevent undue wear on the end of the spacer bushing and the scalper bracket. The proper torque is from 17 to 20 ft. lbs.
