WARNING
POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY
When servicing the parking brake on
unlevel terrain, it is essential to chock
the vehicle wheels to prevent vehicle
movement.
It should not be necessary to adjust the transaxle
parking brake over the life of the vehicle. In the
event that the transaxle parking brake does not
hold per vehicle manufacturer's specifications,
the parking brake can be adjusted by rotating
the handle (102).
1. Note orientation of the vehicle parking brake
and linkage in the activated (locked) posi-
tion.
2. Disengage the brake.
3. Detach the vehicle parking brake linkage
from the parking brake handle (102).

ated position.

level ground, turning the engine off, disen-
gaging the brake, engaging the bypass and
assuring that the vehicle can be moved by
