Regular Maintenance

Parking Brake Adjustment

1.Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the ignition key, and engage the parking brake.

2.Locate the brake springs (A, Figure 23) underneath the rear of the machine.

3.With the parking brake engaged, measure the compressed spring length of the brake spring. The spring should be 2-1/2” (6,35 cm) when compressed. If not, position the lock nut until the measurement equals 2-1/2” (6,35 cm).

4.Measure the distance between the back of the brake pivot link (G) and the front edge of the set collar (F). The measurement should be 1/8” (0,32 cm). If not, position the set collar until the measurement equals 1/8” (0,32 cm).

If this does not correct the braking problem, see your authorized dealer.
