To Adjust the Lower Mounting Position:
1.
Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, engage the parking brake, turn the ignition switch to
OFF, and remove the ignition key.
2.
Remove the clevis pin (C, Figure 57) and hair pin (D) that
secure the shock assembly linkage (A) to the operator
platform (B).
3.
Pivot the shock assembly linkage to the next higher
numbered hole (see Figure 57) and secure to the operator
platform using the clevis pin and hair pin.
4.
Continue to reposition the shock assembly linkage to the
next higher numbered hole until the desired ride is achieved.
Parking Brake Adjustment
1.
Park the machine on a flat, level surface such as a concrete
floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn
the ignition to OFF, and remove the ignition key.
2.
Locate the two parking brake springs (A, Figure 58) above
the engine deck on either side of the fuel tank at the rear
of the machine.

3.
Measure the distance (B) from the top of the threaded
parking brake shaft (C) to the top of the adjustment nut (D).
The measurement should equal 1/4” – 5/16” (.64 cm - .79
cm). If not, position the adjustment nut until the
measurement equals 1/4” – 5/16” (.64 cm - .79 cm).
4.
Measure the distance (E) between the bottom of the lower
parking brake shaft (F) and the top edges of the set collars
(G). The measurement should be 3/16” (.48 cm). If not,
position the set collars until the measurement equals 3/16”
(.48 cm).
Note: If this does not correct your braking problem, see your
authorized dealer.
