ADJUSTMENTS
TRACTION BRAKES/PARKING BRAKES
With the traction control rods properly adjusted,
apply both parking brakes and try to push the
machine forward. If one or both wheels rotate,
adjust the corresponding brake(s).
TO ADJUST:
1. Remove the hairpin cotter W from the brake rod
R on idler bellcrank Q.
2. Slide the brake rod out of the bellcrank and turn
the rod in or out of brake end swivel S as
needed.
3. Reassemble the brake rod to the bellcrank.
4. Check the adjustment. DO NOT OVER ADJUST.
If necessary, repeat the procedure until the
correct adjustment is achieved.
5. If adequate adjustment can not be achieved with
the brake rod, the links U between the brake arm
T and brake band may be moved to a different
hole in the brake arm.
6. Adjust belt guide V to remove any sag in the
drive belt between the drive pulley and the wheel
pulley.
When the brakes are properly adjusted the machine
can be freely manuevered with the traction control
levers in the neutral position. If not, the brakes have
been over-adjusted and have to be backed off.
NOTE: Clean inner groove of wheel drive pulley
daily for better drive and neutral. Accumulation of
grass, mud or other debris in pulley groove can
affect declutching. Set mud scraper Z at each wheel
drive pulley to angle down to catch debris.

control rods. Remove bolts G and loosen bolts E on
each side of the lower handle. Raise or lower as
required. Reposition upper handle and reinsert bolts
