HANDLE

The parking brake linkage should be adjusted whenever the parking brake lever is placed in the “ENGAGE” position and the parking brake will allow the mower to move. If the following procedures do not allow you to engage the parking brake properly, contact your Scag dealer for further brake adjustments.

1.Position a floor jack under the rear of the machine. Raise the machine and support it to prevent it from falling. Block the caster wheels to prevent the machine from moving. Remove the drive wheels.

2.With the brake in the engaged position, check the distance between the lower nut on the brake actuator rod and the brake actuator lever on the LH side of the machine. The distance should be 1/8". See Figure 6-2.

3.If the distance is not at the specified measurement, loosen the jam nut at the clevis on the top of the brake actuator rod. See Figure 6-2.

4.Turn the bolt at the bottom of the brake actuator lever until the 1/8" measurement is achieved and tighten the jam nut at the clevis on the brake actuator rod. See Figure 6-2. If the 1/8" measurement can not

be achieved by adjusting the brake actuator rod, adjust the brake control rod. Adjust by loosening the jam nuts at both ends of the brake control rod and turning the rod until the proper distance is achieved. See Figure 6-1.

5.Repeat steps 2-4 on the RH side of the machine.

6.Replace the drive wheels and test the brake.

- NOTE -

If this procedure does not achieve proper brake adjustment, please contact your authorized Scag dealer.

One of the significant characteristics of the STC series is Scag's innovative Velocity Plus cutting deck technology. This unique design enhances airflow beneath the deck, resulting in superior grass cutting and improved discharge. The deck's aerodynamic shape not only ensures a clean cut but also allows for better grass collection in conjunction with optional bagging systems.

Additionally, all STC models are built with operator comfort in mind. Ergonomically designed controls, spacious seating, and intuitive instrument panels enable operators to work efficiently without discomfort during extended periods. These mowers also come standard with heavy-duty frames and high-quality components that offer durability and long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding conditions.

Another noteworthy feature across the STC lineup is the ease of maintenance. Scag Power Equipment has designed these mowers with accessible components, making it easier for users to perform routine maintenance tasks. This focus on practicality ensures that owners can keep their equipment in optimum condition with minimal effort.

In conclusion, the Scag Power Equipment STC52V-23BV, STC52V-25CV-FR, STC52V-25CV, STC61V-23BV, and STC61V-25CV represent the pinnacle of performance, comfort, and durability in the commercial mower sector. With powerful engines, advanced cutting technology, and a focus on user experience, these mowers continue to set the standard for excellence in outdoor power equipment.
