Parking Brake Adjustment

Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Service

1.Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

2.Raise the seat plate.

3.Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 28).

4.With the parking brake engaged, measure the compressed spring length. The spring should be 1-15/16” - 2” (4,9 - 5,1 cm) when compressed.

5.If the spring is not within this range, release the parking brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to compress or release the spring.

6.Engage the parking brake and remeasure the spring.

CAUTION

Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than

1-15/16” (4,9 cm) when compressed. This may damage the brake mechanism.

If this does not correct the braking problem, see your Ferris dealer.
