Brake Adjustment

1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting deck,
stop engine, engage parking brake and remove key
from the ignition switch.
NOTE: Adjustments to brake cables can be performed
at two (2) places on the machine: under the footrest plat-
form near the brake pedal assembly (Fig. 3) and also at
the rear wheel (Fig. 4). Final brake cable adjustment is
easiest to complete at rear wheel end of cable.
2. Adjust brake cables so that brake pedal has from 1/2"
to 3/4" (13 to 19 mm) of free travel before wheel lock up
is achieved.
3. After initial cable adjustment, sit in operator seat and
apply full foot pressure to brake pedal and release ped-
al. Repeat this brake application five (5) to seven (7)
times.
4. Check brake pedal free travel (step 2 above) and ad-
just brake cables if necessary.
CAUTION
After servicing the brakes, always check the
brakes for proper operation in a wide open, level
area that is free of other persons and obstruc-
tions.
5. Check brake operation before returning machine to
operation.
