Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Service
Brakes
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than
13 mm (1/2 inch) of free travel of the brake pedal, or
when the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel
is the distance the brake pedal moves before braking
resistance is felt.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Disengage the locking latch from the brake
pedals so that both pedals work independently
of each other.
3. To reduce free travel of the brake pedals, tighten
the brakes as follows:
A. Loosen the front nut on the threaded end of
the brake cable

B. Tighten the rear nut to move the cable
backward until the brake pedals have 0 to
13 mm (0 to 1/2 inch) of free travel.
Note:
tension when the pedal is released.
C. Tighten the front nuts after the brakes are
adjusted correctly.
