a) Adjusting the parking brake
Adjustment is achieved by tuning the register (1)
of the control cable (2).
The parking brake is adjusted correctly
when it stops the hydrostatic unit and activates
the safety microswitch.
b) Adjusting the parking brake microswitch
Check that the microswitch (1) works cor-
rectly by engaging and disengaging the parking
brake.
To adjust the microswitch (1), loosen the screws
(2) and reposition it so that it opens and closes
the contacts each time the lever is used.
5.1.5 Adjusting the transmission cable
NOTE
The hydrostatic transmission unit has a predetermined range of use, given by the sum
of the maximum speeds in forward and reverse gear
.
Therefore, any increase of either of the two
parameters reduces the other, and vice versa.
Adjusting the cable makes it possible to pre-determine the maximum pedal travel in forward gear,
according to the following procedure.
1. Make sure that the rear joint head
(1) is correctly screwed onto the
transmission unit regulator lever
(2).
2. Adjust the register nuts (3) so as
to leave 4 mm of the screw thread
exposed (4), then tighten the nuts
(3).
