ADJUSTMENTS
TRACTION BRAKES/PARKING BRAKES - With the traction 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 from the brake rod W
on idler bellcrank B.
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 between the brake arm
and brake band may be moved to a different hole
L in the brake arm.
6. Adjust drive idler belt guide so that with the
traction lever in the drive position the guide is a
1/4" from the underside of the belt and 2" from
the point where the belt exits the idler pulley as
shown.
When the brakes are properly adjusted the machine
can be freely manuevered with the traction 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 at each wheel drive
pulley to angle down to catch debris.
