DANGER
Never use a heat gun or blow dryer if flammable
vapors are present, as the heating element could
ignite the vapor and cause a fire or explosion.
5. Before installing a new pad on the brake pedal
assembly arm, check the arm, pivot shaft, and
threaded end for wear, cracks, corrosion, or other
damage, and replace if necessary.
6. Apply a light application of soapy water to the end of
the brake pedal arm to act as a lubricant, and slide
the new brake pedal pad on to the brake pedal
assembly arm after making sure the pedal tread is
positioned up toward the operator.
7. Tap the outer portion of the pad with a rubber mallet
to make sure it is fully seated on the arm.

Clutch / Brake Pedal Arm Assembly Service
Refer to Figures C-11 through C-13 for transmission-
specific parts breakdowns.
1. Remove the mower deck, and position the unit to per-
mit safe access to the underside of the frame and the
foot control assembly parts (See Figures C–3 through
C–4 for approximate part locations.)
2. Using a 9/16 socket wrench, remove the 3/8-16 lock-
nut that secures the brake pedal assembly arm to the
lift cam and foot pedal arm (Figures C–5 through
C–7)
3. Note the position of the lift cam and foot pedal arms
(Figure C–6), and slide the brake pedal arm out of
the unit, catching the washers positioned under the
lock nut as the brake pedal assembly arm is re-
moved. (The lift cam, foot pedal arm, parking brake
cam, switch actuator, and clutch rod may be left in
place, partially assembled.)
4. To remove a worn foot pedal pad, clamp the brake
pedal arm in a vise, and using a large adjustable
open-end wrench placed over the flats of the brake
pedal arm next to the pad, tap the wrench with a
hammer or rubber mallet to slide the pad off the arm.
(Pads that resist removal with this method may be
heated lightly with a heat gun or blow dryer to expand
the pad slightly, allowing it to be separated from the
arm.)
NOTE: Heat gun: Use a low heat setting, keep the gun
4-6” away from the pad while moving back and forth to
provide even heating. Avoid heating the brake pedal
assembly arm, as this will reduce the effectiveness of
heating the pad to separate it from the arm.
