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 28).
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 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.
BATTERY CHARGING
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine
may be the result of a defect in the charging system
or other electrical component. If there is any doubt
about the cause of the problem, see your dealer. If
you need to replace the battery, follow the steps
under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the Regular
Maintenance Section.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided
by the battery charger manufacturer as well as all
warnings included in the safety rules sections of this
book. Charge the battery until fully charged. Do not
charge at a rate higher than 10 amps.
WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the
battery; the gasses coming from it are highly
explosive. Ventilate the battery well during
charging.
