Brake puck/rotor replacement
On HydroGear transmissions, the brake pucks are wearing parts that will need to be serviced from time to time. If
a mower is operated with the parking brake dragging, the pucks will wear out rapidly and the brake rotor will develop
hot spots. If the mower is operated long enough, the rotor may have grinding marks on it with excessively worn
pucks.
The brake pucks and the rotors are serviced at the same time. To service the brake pucks:
1. Lift and safely support the rear of the mower.
2. Make sure the parking brake is released.
3. Disconnect the brake springs. See Figure 3.5.
4. Loosen the rear mounting bolt. See Figure 3.6.
! CAUTION ! CAUTION
If the rotor shows hot spots or any other signs of damage, including warpage, it must be
replaced. Failure to do so can result in the failure of the brakes
