stop the machine
4.
Rotate, clockwise, until distance between
inside of the eyebolt loop and the inside of the
spring anchor plate is shortened 3 mm, as
shown in figure 50. Tighten the nut.
5.
Operate the machine and check stopping
distance. Repeat the procedure if required.
Note: Shortening the distance between inside
of eye bolt loop and the inside of the spring
anchor plate increases the pedal force on the
traction pedal. Therefore, do not over adjust.
Adjusting Service Brakes
CAUTION
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop the engine and remove the key
from the switch.
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than
2.5 cm 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 braking
resistance is felt.
1.
Disengage the locking pin from the brake
pedals so both pedals work independently of
each other.
2.
To reduce free travel of brake pedals, tighten

the brakes—loosen the front nut on the
threaded end of the brake cable. Then tighten
the rear nut to move the cable backward until
the brake pedals have 1.25 cm to 2.5 cm of free
travel. Tighten front nuts after brakes are
adjusted correctly.

Position machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage the
parking brakes and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2.
