845b / 865b / 885b with fUNK Transmission
Park the machine on a leveled surface. Wedge the whe-
els and lower the blade to the ground to avoid the machi-
ne from moving. Keep engine stopped.
Apply the parking brake lever to check its operation. The
effort to move the lever must increase, starting from the
center position of its stroke.
The parking brake lever stroke adjustment is done by ad-
justing the cable and the position of the caliper lever (4)
on the transmission. The access is possible through the
rear of the machine by removing the lower protection of
the fan (1), or if desired, by remove the engine crankcase
protection.
With the parking brake released, loosen the cable cap fi-
xing nuts (2). Loosen the nut lock-pin (3) and adjust the
position of the pads, on the brake disc, by turning clockwi-
se the nut (3) in order to reduce the pads gap.
NOTE: A gap must always exist between the disc and the
pads. If no gap exists, the disc will overheat and the pads
will worn prematurely.
Install the lock-pin on nut (3). Position the cable cap and
eliminate its gap, so that it remains in a position of appro-
ximately 90° regarding the caliper lever (4). Retighten the
nuts (2). Check if the increase of effort necessary to apply
the parking brake lever occurs after the half of its stroke.
