Park Brake
The park brakes are only on the rear axle. The
method to bleed the park brake is similar:
1. Connect a clear plastic tube to the bleed screw
and place the opposite end of the tube into a
container.
NOTE: The system should be bled until no more air
bubbles appear in the bleed line.
CAUTION: It is recommended that during this pro-
cess the person bleeding the brakes wear suitable
eye protection.
2. With an assistant in the cabin, start the engine
(ensure no person is under the machine and the
transmission is in neutral).
3. In the cabin, depress the brake pedal and hold.
4. In the cabin, on the side console, switch the park
brake OFF.
5. Loosen the bleed screw and when there is no air
and only a continuous stream of fluid in the clear
hose, re-tighten the bleed screw before allowing
the park brake to be applied.
6. Repeat this procedure for the other park brake
control cylinder assembly.
Park Brake Adjustments
1. With the engine stopped, and the machine on a
flat level surface. The wheels chocked.
2. Remove the cover from the brake control cylinder.
3. With a 13 mm spanner, loosen the lock nut until
the 16 mm measurement is obtained.
4. With a 6 mm hex key, insert into the bore and
wind down until there is strong resistance.
5. Now wind out 2 1/4 turns.
6. Now, wind down the lock nut until the 6 mm
measurement is obtained.
7. Replace the cover on the brake control cylinder.
Park Brake Disengage
1. With the engine stopped, and the machine on a
flat level surface. The wheels chocked.
2. Remove the cover from the brake control
cylinder.
3. With a 13 mm spanner, loosen the lock nut until
the 16 mm measurement is obtained.
4. Replace the cover on the brake control cylinder.
This will disengage the park brake for towing the
machine, but also leave the machine with no form of
braking when the engine is not running.
So the wheels will need to be chocked at all times
when the engine is off and the machine is stationary.
