Adjust the service brakes when there is more than
25 mm (1 inch) of free travel of the brake pedal, or

braking resistance.

Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, lower the cutting units, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2.
Release the locking latch from the brake pedals
so that both pedals work independently of each
other.
3.

the brake cable
