frame. During normal operation of this machine, the
brake is subject to wear and will require periodic
examination and adjustment.
WARNING: Do not have the engine
running when you adjust the brake.
To adjust the brake, adjust the nut so the brake starts
to engage when the brake lever is 1/4" to 5/16" away
from the axle housing.
