Inspect the Parking Brake

A properly functioning parking brake is essential to
safe machine operation. An improperly functioning
parking brake will prevent the operator from
properly securing the machine when not in use.
Perform this procedure on a firm,
level surface.
For adjustments: Refer to Repair
Procedure 12-2, How to Adjust the
Parking Brake.
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Attempt to manually push the machine in both
directions.
Result: The machine should not move.
If there is movement in the brake
cables, adjust the parking brake.
See Repair procedure 12-2 , How
to Adjust the Parking Brake.
3 Visually inspect the parking brake cables and
components for damage.

not engage and the unit will not
drive.
