CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Cable must have the recommended 1-1/2 to 2 inches of free play with parking brake
released or drive belt may slip, causing loss of power.
PARKING BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT:
Make necessary adjustments to the T-Box to Hydrostat belt, as shown on page 34.
Position parking brake lever in the off or disengaged position.
This will allow the belt idler used on the engine to T-box to swing fully and apply tension to the
belt.
At this time, check that the cable has approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches of free play.
If adjustment is required, turn the lock nut illustrated below to achieve a recommended 1-1/2 to 2
inches of free play.
