Checking the Hydraulic Lines
and Hoses
Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Get immediate medical help if fluid is injected
into skin.
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather
deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all
necessary repairs before operating.

Adjusting the Brakes

A brake adjustment rod is located on each side of the
machine so that the brakes can be equally adjusted. Adjust
the brakes as follows:
1. While moving forward at transport speed depress the
brake pedal; both wheels should lock equally.
Caution
Testing the brakes in a confined area where others
are present could cause injury.
Always check the brakes in a wide, open-spaced,
flat area which is free of other persons and
obstructions before and after adjustment.
2. If the brakes do not lock equally, disconnect the brake
rods by removing the cotter pin and clevis pin (Fig. 50).

3. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the clevis accordingly
(Fig. 50).
4. Assemble the clevis to the brake shaft (Fig. 50).
5. Check the amount of free travel of the brake pedal when
the adjustment is completed. There should be 1/2 to
1 in. (13 to 26 mm) travel before the brake shoes make
contact with the brake drums. Readjust, if necessary, to
achieve this setting.
6. While moving forward at transport speed depress the
brake pedal; both wheels should lock equally. Readjust,
if necessary.
7. It is recommended that the brakes be burnished
annually; refer to Break-In Period, page 21.
Adjusting the Transmission for
Neutral
If the machine creeps when the traction control pedal is in
the neutral position, the neutral return mechanism must be
adjusted.
1. Block up under the frame so that one of the front
wheels is off of the floor.
Note: If machine is equipped with a 3 wheel drive kit, the
rear wheel must be raised off the floor and blocked.
2. Start the engine, move the throttle to Slow, and check
the front wheel that is off of the floor; it must not be
rotating.
3. If the wheel is rotating, stop the engine and proceed as
follows:
