Parking Brake Adjustment

Service Interval:

After the first 100 hours, and every 500 hours after.

Check to make sure that the brake is adjusted

properly. This procedure must be followed after the

first 100 hours or when a brake component has been

removed or replaced.

1. Stop the machine and move the speed control lever

to the neutral position.

2. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop

the engine, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

3. Release the parking brake.

4. Tilt the seat forward.

5. Check to ensure there is no slack between the

parking brake handle and the linkage.

6. If an adjustment is necessary, remove the clevis

pin and rotate the linkage counter-clockwise to

lengthen or clockwise to shorten (Figure 14).
