Parking Brake Adjustment
(S/N: 2013521289 & Below)
There are two brake springs located by the rear
wheels of the unit. If the parking brake springs need
to be adjusted both parking brake springs must be
adjusted equally.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Locate the two (2) brake springs (A, Figure 32).
3. With the parking brake engaged, measure the
compressed spring length. The spring should
be 2-5/8” - 2-11/16” (6,67 cm - 6,83 cm) when
compressed.
4. If the spring is not within this range, release the
parking brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to
compress or release the spring.
5. Engage the parking brake and re-measure the
spring.
If this does not correct the braking problem, see
your Ferris dealer.

Parking Brake Adjustment
(S/N: 2013521290 & Above)
The parking brake system consists of two range
selector plates and two parking brake springs which
are located by the rear wheels of the unit. If the
parking brake needs to be adjusted the range selector
plates must be adjusted first, and then the length of
the parking brake springs must be set.
Adjusting the Range Selector Plate
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Chock the front tires to prevent the machine from
moving. Jack up the rear of the machine and
secure with jackstands.
3. Remove both of the rear wheels.
4. Disengage the parking brake.
5. Remove the range selector hardware (A, Figure
33).
6. Loosen the range selector pivot hardware (B) just
enough so that you can pivot the range selector
plate (C).
7. Pivot the range selector plate towards the front
of the machine as far as you can and insert the
range selector hardware in the nearest hole.
