FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAM BER

Your new tractor front wheel toe-in and camber is set at the 
factory and is normal. The front wheel toe-in and camber 
are not adjustable.  If damage has occurred to affect the 
factory set front wheel toe-in or camber, contact a qualifi ed 
service center.

TO CHECK BRAKE 

If tractor requires more than fi ve (5) feet to stop at highest 
speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved 
surface, then brake must be serviced.

You may also check brake by:
•      Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, 

depress brake pedal all the way down and engage 
parking brake.

•      Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control 

in “transmission disengaged” position. Pull freewheel 
control out and into the slot and release so it is held in 
the disengaged position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manu-
ally push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then 
the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a  qualifi ed service 
center.

•      Replace axle cover.

NOTE: 

To seal tire punctures and prevent fl at tires due to 

slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local 
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and 
corrosion.
