ADJUSTING THE BRAKES (1220 Tractor)
During normal operation of this tractor, the brakes are
subject to wear and will need periodic examination and
adjustment.
To check the brake adjustment, engage the hydro¬
static dump valve so unit can be pushed. Then lock the
parking brake (hydrostatic dump valve is still
engaged). You should not be able to push the tractor.
If the tractor can be pushed with the parking brake
locked, or if the unit cannot be pushed with the parking
brake released, brake adjustment is necessary.
To adjust the brake, adjust the nut on the end of the
brake rod until there is approximately 1/8 inch to 3/16
inch space between the spacer and cam lever. (See
Figure 21.)
Recheck the adjustment, making certain correct
adjustment is reached before operating the tractor.
