Brakes
g
WAR.,.,
Brake pedals must
be
adjusted evenly to avoid
bagic accidents. Uneven bake force to the wheels
can force the tractor to swerve abruptly to the
right or left into
a
rollover situation.
With pedals not latched together, depress both
pedals to where they firmly engage brakes. The
two pedals should be at the same height when
brakes are engaged.
If
pedals do not engage brakes evenly or the free
travels are more than 30 mrn
(1.2
in.), adjust free
travel as inst'ructed below.
Measure distance pedals travel at top of stroke
before engaging brakes. Free travel should not
exceed 30 rnrn
(1.2
in.).
If
free travel is excessive, -adjust linkage rod.
Loosen lock nuts and rotate turnbuckle to shorten
rod. Adjust free travel to 20 mm (0.8 in.).
Tighten lock nut. Keep both pedals adjusted
evenly.
When linkage rod has no adjustment left, two other:
adjustments can be made before replacing brake
shoes. Shoes can be reversed (front to rear and
rear to front), and anchor pin can be turned
90".
These are jobs for a qualified mechanic. See your
YANMAR
dealer.
