ADJUSTMENTS

6.1 PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

DO NOT operate the mower if the parking brake

is not operable. Possible severe injury could

result.

The parking brake linkage should be adjusted whenever

the parking brake lever is placed in the “ENGAGE”

position and the parking brake will not prevent the mower

from moving. If the following procedures do not allow

you to engage the parking brake properly, contact your

Scag dealer for further brake adjustments.

1. Park the machine on a flat surface and block the

caster wheels to prevent the machine from moving.

Remove the ignition key.

2. Disengage the parking brake. (See Figure 6-1).

3. Release the seat hold down latch and tilt the seat

foward to gain access to the brake control linkage.

4. Remove the cotter pin securing the pivot to the brake

control linkage. (See Figure 6-2).

5. Push down on the brake control rod to disengage the

parking brake and adjust the pivot until it meets the

mounting hole. Insert the pivot into the brake control

linkage and secure with the cotter pin.

5. Repeat steps 4-5 on the LH side of the machine.

6. Test the brake.
