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 30).

 4.  With the parking brake engaged, measure the 

compressed  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 

parking brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to 
compress 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 mechanism.
