6.1 PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
DO NOT operate the mower if the parking brake is
not operable. Possible severe injury could result.
The parking brake should be adjusted whenever the
parking brake lever is placed in the "ENGAGE" position
and the parking brake will allow the mower to move. If
the following procedures do not allow you to engage the
parking brake properly, contact your Authorized Scag
Power Equipment Dealer for further brake adjustments.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Block the
wheels to prevent the machine from moving.
CAUTION
Adjust the brake only enough to hold the machine.
Excessive force may cause damage to the
machine or brake components.
2. Release the parking brake lever.
3. Look for a gap (approximately 1/4") between the
left side drive tire and the brake weldment. See
Figure 6-1. Loosen the hardware securing the brake
weldment to the brake actuator shaft weldment.
Adjust the brake weldment until there is a 1/4" gap
between the tire and brake weldment. Tighten the
hardware
4. Repeat this procedure on the right side drive tire.
