PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop
the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Raise the seat plate.
3. Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 24).
4. With the parking brake engaged, measure the com-
pressed spring length. The spring should be
1-15/16” - 2” (4,9 - 5,1 cm) when compressed.
5. If the spring is not within this range, release the park-
ing brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to com-
press or release the spring.
6. Engage the parking brake and remeasure the spring.
If this does not correct the braking problem, see
your Ferris dealer.

CAUTION
Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than
1-15/16” (4,9 cm) when compressed. This may
damage the brake caliper.
