TO CHECK BRAKE
tf tractor requires more than five (5) feet to
stop at highest speed in highest gear on a
level, dry concrete or paved surface, then
brake must be serviced.
You may also check brake by:
1. Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or
paved surface, depress brake pedal
all the way down and engage parking
brake.
2. Disengage transmission by placing
freewheel control in "transmission dis-
engaged" position. Pull freewheel con-
trol out and into the slot and release so
it is held in the disengaged position.
The rear wheels must lock and skid
when you try to manually push the tractor
forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the
brake needs to be serviced. Contact a
Sears or other qualified service center.

camber is set at the factory and is normal.
The front wheel toe-in and camber are
not adjustable. If damage has occurred to
affect the factory set front wheel toe-in or
camber, contact a Sears or other qualified
service center.
