Brake Service
Service Interval/Specification
Before each use, check brakes for proper operation.
Always set the parking brake when you stop the machine
or leave it unattended. If the parking brake does not hold
securely, an adjustment is required.
Checking the Brake

power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to “OFF” to stop the engine. Remove
the key.
2. Rear wheels must lock when you try to push the
machine forward. Adjustment is required if the wheels
turn and do not lock; refer to Adjusting the Brake,
page 28.
3. Release the brake and press upper control bar very
lightly, approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm), wheels should
rotate freely.
4. If both conditions are met no adjustment is required.
Adjusting the Brake
The brake lever is on the upper control bar (Fig. 11). If the
parking brake does not hold securely, an adjustment is
required.
1. Check the brake before you adjust it; refer to Checking
the Brake, page 28.
2. Release the parking brake; refer to Releasing the
Parking Brake, page 17.
3. To adjust the brake remove the cotter pin and washer
from the brake lever (Fig. 34).
4. Rotate the trunnion so it smoothly slides into brake
lever hole “F” (Fig. 34). Tighten wing nut.
