Drive the machine to check the following.
Make sure that the brake is effective when
depressing the brake pedal all the way
firmly.
Make sure that heat is not generated in
the brake area.
Make sure that the left and right brakes
are equally effective.
Caution
It would be extremely dangerous and may
result in an unexpected accident if the left and

If the left and right brakes are not equally
effective, make fine adjustments with the
adjustment bolt on the brake wire.

If the brake shoes or brake pads are worn,
replace them with new ones.
Immediately after replacement, drive to break
in the brakes if the effectiveness of the brakes
is low.
While driving, lightly operate the brakes to
break in the contact areas.
