1. Brake cable
2. Flange nut/washer
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting deck, shut off the
engine, and remove the key from the key switch. Raise the rear of the
machine so that both wheels are off the ground.
2. Adjust the flange nuts at the rear of each brake cable until a slight drag is felt
against the brake drum when the brake pedal is not engaged.
3. Adjust the brake cable at the rear until the rear wheel is locked and a 7.6 mm
(0.3 inch) gap exists between the brake pedal and the end of the slot in the
floor plate. Tighten the flange nuts against the cable bracket.
If the brake pedal contacts the floor plate or the brake cable clevis contacts
the cable housing before the rear wheel locks:
A. Loosen the cable at the rear of the machine.
B. Adjust the cable at the front of the machine so that the cable housing
moves closer to the cable yoke.
C. Repeat the step 3. The cable yoke should be square to both cables after
adjustment (Figure
After servicing the brakes, always check the brakes for proper
operation in a wide open, level area that is free of other persons
and obstructions.
