MAINTENANCE
Adjustments
Brake Lever Travel (Rear)
Service the brakes when
brake lever travel reaches
2 1/2″ (65 mm). Always
service the brakes when there
is no longer sufficient stopping
ability at the specified lever
travel setting.
Brake Adjustment (Rear)
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Block the front wheels.
3. Place the transmission in neutral.
4. Using suitable stands, elevate the rear of the vehicle so the rear
wheels are slightly off the ground.
5. Slowly tighten the hand brake
wing nut (1) while rotating
the rear wheels with your
hand. When you begin to
feel resistance (drag) in the
wheel rotation, loosen the
wing nut one full turn.
6. Slowly tighten the foot brake
wing nut (2) until the foot
brake lever arm begins to
move. Loosen the wing nut
1/2 turn so it doesn’t influence
the hand brake adjustment.
7. Test the hand brake and the foot brake for proper operation.
