Adjusting the parking brake

The parking brake is adjusted in the factory and readjustment is not necessary
unless parts of the brake mechanism have been changed. Adjusting the driving
brakes affects the parking brake.
The parking brake is controlled with a spring return pressure cylinder and it is
connected to the drive brake mechanism by a cable.
IMPORTANT: Always adjust the driving brakes before adjusting the parking
brake.
1. Start the tractor.
2. Fit blocks in front of the front wheels to prevent the tractor from moving.
3. Move the power shuttle lever to neutral (centre position).
4. Pull the cable clearance to the end of the cable.
