TO CHECK BRAKE

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be serviced.

You may also check brake by:

1.Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, depress brake pedal all the way down and engage parking brake.

2.Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in “transmission dis- engaged” position. Pull freewheel control out and into the slot and release so it is held in the disengaged position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manually push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a Sears or other qualified service center.

FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAMBER

Your new tractor front wheel toe-in and cam- ber is set at the factory and is normal. The front wheel toe-in and camber are not adjust- able. If damage has occurred to affect the factory set front wheel toe-in or camber, con- tact a Sears or other qualified service center.
