Brake Maintenance

Servicing the Brake

Before each use, check the brakes on a level surface and slope.
Always set the parking brake when you stop the machine or
leave it unattended.
Important: If the parking brake does not hold securely,
an adjustment is required.
Checking the Parking Brake
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the PTO.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Release the brake.
Note: The brake bars should lift off the tires and the
hand lever should travel forward to the end of the slot
in the control panel.
Note: Adjust the brake if needed.
4. Engage the brake lever until the brake bars first contact
the tire (Figure 65).
5. Measure the gap from the front of the hand lever to
the end of the slot in the control panel when the brake
bar contacts the tire (Figure 65).
Note: This measurement needs to be 19 mm (3/4
inch).
Note: Adjust the brake if needed.
