Adjusting The Tilt Steering Control - Toro 30241 Operator's Manual

The brakes should be checked for adjustment after the first
25 hours of operation and should only need adjusting after
considerable use thereafter. These periodic adjustments can
be performed where the brake cable connect to the bottom
of the brake pedals. When the cable is no longer adjustable,
the star nut on inside of the brake drum must be adjusted to
move the brake shoes outward. However, the brake cables
must be adjusted again to compensate for this adjustment.
1. Disengage lock arm from right brake pedal so both
pedals work independently of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of brake pedals — tighten the
brakes — loosen front nut on threaded end of brake
cable (Fig. 56). Then tighten rear nut to move cable
backward until brake pedals have 1/2 to 1 inch (13 mm
to 25 mm) of free travel. Tighten front nut after brakes
are adjusted correctly.
