• With the brake pedal disengaged,
insert an .030” feeler gauge between
the inner brake pad and the rotor. If
the .030” gauge does not fit, the
brakes are overly tightened and
should be loosened.
• Attempt to insert an .060” feeler
gauge between the inner brake pad
and the rotor. The .060” clearance
is maximum allowable clearance
and insertion of the gauge should
not be possible.
• If the .060” gauge can be inserted
the brake must be tightened.
• Accessing the brake adjustment nut
from the rear of the tractor, beneath
the fender, turn the nut clockwise to
tighten and counterclockwise to
loosen the brake assembly. See Fig-
ure 15.
• Turn the adjustment nut as neces-
sary to obtain the .030” to .060”
clearance.
• Repeat the above procedure to
check and adjust the other brake
assembly as necessary.
Turning Radius Adjustment
This tractor is equipped with power
assisted steering which is set at the
factory. The turning radius should be
equal for both left and right hand turns.
If adjustment is necessary please con-
tact your authorized Cub Cadet dealer.
