Parking Brake Adjustment

1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the ignition
key, and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 27) underneath the
rear of the machine.
3. With the parking brake engaged, measure the
compressed spring length of the brake spring. The
spring should be 2-3/8" (6,03 cm) when compressed.
If not, position the lock nut (D) until the measurement
equals 2-3/8" (6,03 cm).
