Operating Instructions
Do not operate machine with the brakes released.
Manually Release Brakes
Follow this procedure for both sides of the machine.
▪
Remove the rubber plug from the brake protector.
▪
Loosen the locknut.
Note:
The tube, bolt and nut required to release the brakes are located
under the hood of the machine (beside the operator's manual holder).
Position the supplied tube with the hole centered over the brake
access hole. Insert the supplied bolt / nut through the hole in the tube
into the brake housing.
Finger-tighten the bolt until it reaches the bottom of the threads. Do
not over-tighten.
Tighten the nut while holding the bolt preventing it from turning. As
the nut is tightened* the brake is released, continue tightening the nut
until the motor turns freely. The brake on that side of the machine is
released. Repeat on the other side of the machine.
* It may take up to 80 ft-lb. to fully release the brake.
Reverse the above procedure to put each motor back into service
prior to operating the machine.
NOTE: Install a new rubber plug on re-assembly.
