The braking system must be adjusted when the free travel of the
pedals (Fig. 5-12) becomes excessive and the pedals are near to
end of travel. Proceed in the following way to restore free pedal
travel to its normal value of about 15-20mm (Dimension A):
1. Jack up the rear wheels of the tractor.
2. Make sure that the parking brake is off.
3. Free the brake pedals by raising the lock.
4. Unscrew the check nut (1) (Fig.5-13). Slowly, tighten the
adjuster (1) (Fig.5-13) until you can no longer turn the wheel by
hand.
5. Make a reference mark on the adjuster nut (Fig.5-13) and on the support, then slacken off the
adjuster nut by 1 turn, i.e. until the wheel can be freely turned. Now lock the adjuster with the
relative check nut (1) (Fig. 5-13).
Check that the brake pedal has a free travel of 15-20mm and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
Repeat the same procedure for the other side (Fig. 5-13).
Finally, check that the free travel is the same for both pedals and that the brakes engages
simultaneously on both sides.
