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.
