Indications that a transaxle is not warrantable
Anything that would indicate misuse, abuse, neglect, accident, improper maintenance, alteration, vandalism,
theft, fire, water or damage because of other peril or natural disaster will render the transaxle non-warrantable even
though it is within the normal warranty period.
Typical indicators of a void warranty would be:
• Tractor is beyond the warranty period.
• Abnormally high wear indicators for the age of the tractor (usually consistent with high hours of usage). As
an example, if the tires are completely worn-out on a tractor that is 6-months old, it is reasonable to think
it has been used pretty heavily even if the hour meter has been unplugged.
• Bent axle, broken housing, or other obvious signs of impact damage
• Indication that the tractor has been over-loaded or used with ground engaging attachments.
Brake
A foot pedal on the left side of the tractor controls the
brake. It engages the brake when it is depressed. If the
brake fails to stop the tractor or hold it on a hill, the brakes
must be checked and adjusted.
Visually inspect the brake pedal linkage to confirm that
it functions properly. See Figure 5.8.
• At rest, the brake foot pedal stop should be against
the frame.
• When the brake pedal is depressed, the bracket
on the pedal assembly rotates forward, pulling the
brake rod forward and engaging the brake on the
transmission.
• The parking brake engagement lever is on the left
side of the dash. A brake control rod passes down
through the dash and connects to a brake latch on
the frame.
• When the brake is fully depressed, the parking
brake lever can be rotated downward engaging the
brake latch and holding the brake pedal in the
engaged position.
See Figure 5.9.
• Depressing the brake foot pedal and raising the
parking brake lever to the run position releases the
parking brake.
• When the brake is released the rod connecting the
brake pedal assembly to the brake actuator spring
at the transmission should be just slack.
