Service/Park Brake Adjustment
If service/park brake slips when operated, an adjust-
ment is required.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine
is OFF. Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
2. Move service/park brake lever to the OFF position.
Note: Figure 10 is shown with the bellcrank cover re-
moved for illustrative purposes. It is not necessary to re-
move the cover.
3. Loosen retainer securing the bellcrank cover. Pivot
cover open.
4. To increase cable tension, loosen front cable jam
nut and tighten back cable jam nut until a force of 3 to 5
lbs (13 to 22 N) is required to engage brake. The force
should be measured at brake lever knob. Do not over
adjust, so brake band drags.
5. Close cover and secure retainer.
