PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The parking brake is a dry disc type located on the
rear transaxle. As the friction pads wear it may be
necessary to adjust the brake. (see Photo 11)
NOTE: Check brake disc periodically to ensure it
will float on the brake shaft. Remove and coat with
never-sieze annually.
To Adjust The Brake:
1. Release the brake and remove the cotter pin from
the adjusting nut.
2. Tighten the adjusting nut carefully until the disc
cannot be moved freely by trying to rotate the disk
by hand, then back off just far enough to allow the
disk to move freely.
3. Align nut and re-install cotter pin.
To Replace Brake Pads:
1. Remove the two bolts which fasten the brake
assembly to the transaxle. Caution: There are two
loose pins and a backing plate which may fall out
upon dis-assembly. Be sure these are in place
before assembling the brake.
2. Slide the disk off the brake shaft. Note: A woodruff
key in the shaft must stay in place.
3. Replace inner pad and install disk on the brake
shaft. It must slide freely on the shaft.
4. Back off brake adjustment nut, replace outer pad in
housing and reinstall the assembly to the
transaxle.
5. Adjust brake.
