CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PARKING BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT:

Make necessary adjustments to the T-Box to Hydrostat

belt, as shown on page 47.
Position parking brake lever in the off or disengaged

position.
This will allow the belt idler used on the engine to T-Box

to swing fully and apply tension to the belt.
At this time, check that the cable has approximately

1-1/2 to 2” of free play.
If adjustment is required, turn the lock nut, illustrated

below, to achieve a recommended 1-1/2 to 2” of free

play.

NOTE: Cable must have the recommended 1-1/2 to 2”

of free play with parking brake released or drive

belt may slip, causing loss of power.
