Brake Adjustments
IMPORTANT: Make certain the tractor comes to
a complete stop when the brake pedal is
depressed. Also, make certain the rear wheels
do not roll when the parking brake has been
applied. If motion continues, perform the follow-
ing steps:
1). Locate the hex nut that secures the brake
assembly.
2). Loosen (DO NOT REMOVE) the hex nut using a
1/2" wrench.
3). Slide an .011" feeler gauge between the brake
disc and the brake puck. See figure 1.
FIGURE 1.
4). Tighten the hex nut that secures the brake
assembly.
5). Remove the .011" feeler gauge from the brake
assembly.
6). Test for proper adjustments.

approximately 14 PSI, and the rear tires will be
approximately 10 PSI.
2). Place the tractor on a level surface.
3). Depress and lock the parking brake.
4). Place the cutting deck in cutting position 3 or 4.
