ADJUST BRAKES

NOTE: The traction belt must disengage as the brake starts 
to engage.

1. Turn off the engine, remove the key and allow unit to 

cool.

2. If brakes do not disengage fully when traction belt is 

engaged, the brakes are too tight. Disconnect trunnion 
from the clutch weldment and turn the trunnion up the 
brake rod to reduce braking. Reconnect the trunnion to 
the clutch weldment (Figure 10).

3. If brakes do not engage fully when traction belt is 

disengaged, the brakes are too loose. Disconnect 
trunnion from the clutch weldment and turn the 
trunnion down the brake rod to increase braking. 
Reconnect the trunnion to the clutch weldment 
(Figure 10).

4. Start engine and test in low gear for proper brake 

engagement.

1. Turn off the engine, remove the key and allow unit to 

cool.

2. Release the steering levers.

3. Raise the rear of the unit so that the drive wheels are 

off the ground.

4. Disconnect clutch idler pulley spring (Figure 11).

5. Remove traction belt guard.

6. Remove hair pin and trunnion holding steering control
