7.4.5 HOLDING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

The holding brake system has been factory adjusted to ensure
proper braking effectiveness. However, before the vehicle is
used for the first time, and after every 25 hours of operation,
the adjustment of the holding brake must be inspected.
The use of an improperly adjusted holding brake is a
serious hazard, and could lead to vehicle damage or
personal injury.
1. Pull each steering lever back until you feel resistance.
2. While holding the levers back, push each holding brake
handle down until it rests against the brake lever stop.
3. Check the distance between the holding brake stop on each
steering lever and the holding brake adjusting screw.
4. If the distance is approximately 1/16" (1.6mm) the holding
brake system is correctly adjusted.
5. If not, turn the holding brake adjuster screw in the direc-
tion required for correct distance.
If the holding brake system is too tight, excessive pres-
sure in the brake system will damage the seals.
