Adjusting the Parking Brake
Check the parking brake for proper adjustment.
1. Disengage the brake lever (lever down).
2. Measure the length of the spring. The measurement
should be 2-3/4 inch (70 mm) between the washers
(Fig. 74).
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut below
the spring and tighten the nut directly below the yoke
(Fig. 74). Turn the nut until the correct measurement is
obtained. Tighten the two nuts together and repeat on
the opposite side of the unit.
4. Turn the nuts clockwise to shorten the spring length
and counterclockwise to lengthen the spring.
5. Engage the parking brake, lever up.
6. Measure the distance between the trunnion roller and
the collar on the brake rod. The measurement should
be 3/16–1/4 inch (5–7 mm) (Fig. 74).
7. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut
directly below the yoke. Turn the bottom rod until the
correct measurement is obtained (Fig. 74). Tighten the
jam nut at the yoke.

Servicing the Fuses
The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires no
maintenance, however, if a fuse blows, check the
component/circuit for a malfunction or short.
Fuse: Main –20 amp, blade-type
Alternator –30 amp, blade-type
Fan–30 amp, blade-type
1. To gain access to the main fuse, unlatch the seat and
tilt the seat forward. To gain access to the fan and
alternator fuses, raise the seat and tilt the engine cover
forward.
2. To replace a fuse, pull out on the fuse to remove it
(Fig. 75).

Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Checking Electrolyte Level
1. With the engine off, open the hood to locate the
battery.
2. Look at the side of the battery. The electrolyte must be
up to the upper line (Fig. 76). Do not allow the
electrolyte to get below the lower line (Fig. 76).
3. If the electrolyte is low, add the required amount of
distilled water; refer to Adding Water to the Battery,
page 53.
