Breaking in the Machine

To ensure optimum performance of the parking-brake
system, burnish (break in) the brakes before use. Set
the forward traction speed to 4 mph to match the
reverse traction speed. (All 8 spacers moved to the
top of the mow-speed control.) With the engine at high
idle, proceed forward with the mow-speed-control stop
engaged and ride the brake for 15 seconds. Proceed
backward at full reverse speed and ride the brake for
15 seconds. Repeat this 5 times, waiting 1 minute
between each forward and reverse cycle to avoid
overheating the brakes. An adjustment to the brakes
may be required after break-in; refer to
Parking Brakes (page
