Checking And Adjusting Brake Wire - Husqvarna Rider 13C Workshop Manual

Checking and adjusting brake wire

Rider 11 and Rider 11 C
Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by
measuring the distance between the brake lever
and the front edge of the recess on the chassis.
The distance should be 0–1 mm/0-0,040" when
the brake is not applied.
1. Remove the lock nuts (1).
2. Stretch the wire with the adjuster screw (2) so
that the distance between the brake lever and
the front edge of the recess on the chassis is
1 mm/0,040".
3. Tighten the lock nuts (1) after adjustment.
When the brake wire has been adjusted,
check that the brake lever does not have too
much movement. If the lever's free movement
exceeds 9 mm/3/8", this should be adjusted
by tightening the nut on the brake lever.
Rider 13 C, Rider 15 C and Rider 16
Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by
positioning the ride-on mower on a gentle slope
and applying the brake.
If the ride-on mower does not stand still, the brake
needs to be adjusted.
The brake is adjusted in the following way:
1. Release the lock nuts (1).
2. Stretch the wire with the adjuster screw (2)
until all the play in the wire disappears.
3. Tighten the lock nuts (1) and finally check that
the brake is correctly adjusted.
WARNING!
A badly adjusted brake can lead
to reduced braking capacity.
