Parking brake
To adjust parking brake
Jack up unit and support properly with jack stands.
Allow clearance to work at rear transaxles. Before
making any adjustments:
Set park brake.
Measure the distance between the rod swivel pin and
the brake arm washer. With the brake engaged, there
should be a gap of 1/8" to 1/2" (3 mm to 13 mm)
between the swivel pin and the brake arm washer.
If measurement is out of range adjust as follows:
Disengage park brake lever. Remove retaining clip and
remove brake arm by pulling horizontally from the IZT
splined shaft.
Rotate brake arm on spline “rearward” to increase
brake tension. Rotate the brake arm one spline
“forward” to decrease brake arm tension.
Reinstall the retaining clip and recheck gap between
rod swivel pin and brake rod washer. Repeat the
procedure on the other IZT.
Caster Wheels
Check every 200 hours. Lift front of unit off of ground
so caster wheels can rotate freely. Tighten caster bolt
then back off ½ turn. Check that wheel rotates freely. If
wheel does not rotate freely back the caster bolt off in
¼ turn increments until wheel rotates freely.
Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the warranty.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or
missing hardware.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DO NOT add any type of tire liner or foam
fill material to the tires. Excessive loads
created by foam filled tires will cause
premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.
