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.
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. Photo BR-34
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. Photo BR-35
5. If not, turn the holding brake adjuster screw in the direction required for correct
distance.
If the holding brake system is too tight, excessive pressure in the brake system will
damage the seals.
The use of an improperly adjusted holding brake is a serious hazard, and could lead
to vehicle damage or personal injury.
