Brake Maintenance

Adjusting the Service
Brakes
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than
25 mm (1 inch) of "free travel" of the brake pedal, or
when the brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is
the distance the brake pedal moves before you feel
braking resistance.
1. Disengage the locking latch from the brake
pedals so that both pedals work independently
of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of the brake pedals, tighten
the brakes as follows:
A. Loosen the 2 mounting screws and remove
