Clutch-Brake; Adjusting The Brakes - Cub Cadet 108 Operator's Manual

CLUTCH-BRAKE
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES -Continued
To adjust the brakes block the front wheels se-
curely and raise the tractor so the rear wheels are
off the ground.
A CAUTION! Be careful and take neces-
sary precautions when raising tractor off
the ground.
With the rear wheels off the ground and the brake
pedal in the locked position, the brake settings
should be equalized as follows:
Disconnect the left brake rod at the pinned end,
rotate the right wheel by hand and adjust the jam
nuts on the brake rod until wheel brakes firmly.
Then, disconnect the right brake rod at the pinned
end and reconnect the left brake rod. Turn the left
wheel by hand and adjust the jam nuts until the
wheel brakes firmly. Reconnect the right rod.
NOTE: To check the equalization of the brakes
start the engine and shift the gears to third speed.
After the wheels are turning apply the brakes. Both
wheels should stop at the same time. If one wheel
stops and the other wheel continues to revolve
when the brakes are applied, stop the engine,
adjust the jam nuts on the brake rod of the wheel
that does not stop, enough so that both wheels
stop simultaneously.
