PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, block the front
wheels, remove the ignition key, and engage the
parking brake.
2. Locate the upper brake spring (A, Figure 28).
3. With the parking brake engaged, measure the com-
pressed spring length. The spring should be 2” to
2-1/8” (5,0 - 5,4cm) when compressed.
4. If the spring is not within this range, jack up the rear
of the machine and secure with jackstands. Remove
both drive tires.
5. Locate the lower brake spring and adjustment clevis
(A & B, Figure 29).
6. Release the parking brake and disconnect the clevis
(B) from the caliper lever (C). Turn the clevis to com-
press or release the upper spring. Lock the nut
against the clevis and reinstall the clevis onto the
caliper lever.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than
2” (5,0cm) when compressed. This may damage
the brake caliper.
