BRAKES AND TIRES
BRAKES
The foot brake and the parking brake operate the
linkage which controls the brakes on the front
wheels.
The foot brake needs no regular adjustment. The
parking brake should be adjusted after every
200 hours of operation or whenever it becomes
very easy to set.
To adjust the parking brake, turn the knurled knob
on the end of the parking brake clockwise. If the
knob adjustment is inadequate, remove the clevis
pin from each brake assembly, turn the clevis
ends an equal amount, reconnect the clevis pins,
and readjust the parking brake.
