WARNING

DO NOT operate the mower if the parking brake is not operable. Possible severe injury could result.

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.Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Block the wheels to prevent the machine from moving.

Caution

Adjust the brake only enough to hold the machine. Excessive force may cause damage to the machine or brake components.

2.Release the parking brake lever.

The right hand side must be ajusted first before adjusting the brake weldment on the left side.

4.With the brake released, loosen the mounting bolt securing the left hand brake weldment to the brake bellcrank. Adjust the left hand brake weldment until there is a 1/4" gap between the tire and the brake weldment
