1. Shut engine off, place steering control levers in the park
brake position, disengage deck clutch, remove ignition
switch key and disconnect negative battery cable before
doing any adjustments.
2. Raise the rear of the mower and block with certified jack
stands. The rear wheels need to be able to rotate freely
and clear of all obstructions.
3. Chock the front tires.
4. Position the steering control levers in the neutral position.
NOTE: The front brake link is not to be adjusted. Figure

5. Open the integrated transmission’s bypass valve, on the
side that is being adjusted, by turning the bypass lever
counter clockwise until it stops. The bypass levers on
each integrated transmission are located near the bottom

from rotating freely even with the bypass valves open.
There should be no resistance from the brakes at this

This procedure will require that the unit be raised and
blocked up off of the ground. It is necessary for the
wheels to rotate without coming in contact with the floor
or any object that would permit the unit to propel itself.
Stay clear and exercise caution when rotating wheels to
prevent injury. Use only appropriate vehicle stands, with
a minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds to block the
unit up. Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions sup-
plied with the vehicle stands.
