PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. Raise the seat plate.
3. Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 35).
4. With the parking brake engaged, measure the
compressed spring length. The spring should be
1-15/16” - 2” (4,9 - 5,1 cm) when compressed.
5. If the spring is not within this range, release the
parking brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to
compress or release the spring.
6. Engage the parking brake and remeasure the
spring.
If this does not correct the braking problem, see
your Ferris dealer.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than
1-15/16” (4,9 cm) when compressed. This may
damage the brake mechanism.
