MAINTENANCE
Adjusting the Parking Brake
Check that the parking brake is adjusted correctly by
placing the machine on a slope with the front and rear
axles disengaged. Apply and lock the parking brake.
When the machine does not standstill, the parking
brake should be adjusted according to the following.
1. Remove the left-hand wing cover.
2. Check that the parking brake is not on.
3. Adjust the play between the casing and the
adjustment screw to 1 mm (0.040") when one
pulls the casing. This gives play on the pedal of
approximately 40 mm (1.5"). Adjust using the nuts
on the adjustment screw.
4. Tighten the nuts moderately to avoid damaging
the threads.
5. Check that the parking brake works.
6. Assemble the left-hand wing cover.
