Brake Adjustment - Toro GT series Service Manual

GEAR DRIVE SYSTEM

Brake Adjustment

Never attempt to adjust the brakes while the engine
is running. Always disengage PTO, move shift lever
into neutral position, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the
brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's
rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the
brake is in need of adjustment. The brake disc can be
found on the right side of the transmission in the rear of
the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows:
Looking at the transmission from the right side of the
tractor, locate the spring and brake disc (Fig. 624).
