PARKING BRAKE AND NEUTRAL SWITCH OPERATION
Parking brake cable attaches here. Right
side is shown. Control panel has been
removed for better view.
Right side drive control handle.
Safety switch rocker arm
pivots on a bolt at this point.
Parking brake is activated by this bolt as
the drive control handle is swung
outward in the neutral position. Tension
on brake cable can be adjusted by raising
or lowering this bolt, but the main
adjustment is performed on the other end
of the cable down by the rear wheels.
This is the neutral safety switch that
prevents the engine from cranking unless
the drive controls are both swung
outward in neutral position. The switch
has a slotted mount bracket so the travel
of the push button can be adjusted to
depress about 3/8” to activate. Further
information about checking this switch is
found in the electrical diagnosing section
The parking brake can be adjusted by
moving the nuts on this cable. A nut is
located on each side of this frame. As the
outer cable moves forward, the brake
will become tighter.
