Adjusting the brakes

2.Unhook the spring (A) from the screw (B).

6008-209

3.Make sure the parking brake is released.

4.Adjust so there is 1 mm play between the outer cable and the adjuster screw when you pull the outer cable.

Adjust the adjuster screw using the nuts.

5.Tighten the nuts carefully to prevent damaging the adjuster screw.

6.Refit the spring (A).

7.Check that the brake works.

WARNING!

Poorly adjusted brakes can result in reduced braking power.

Checking the tyre pressure

Check tyre pressure (60 kPa, 0.6 bar).

To improve driving the pressure on the rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa (0.4 kp/cm2).

The maximum tyre pressure is 100 kPa (1.0 kp/cm2).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Different tyre pressures on the front tyres will result in the blades cutting the grass at different heights.
