DR ® POWERWAGON ™ Safety & Operating Instructions 14
Adjusting the Brake
If the DR ® POWERWAGON ™ rolls on slopes when the parking brake is set, or you
can't get the parking brake to set, the brake needs to be adjusted.
Tool Needed:
• 1/2" wrench
!
WARNING: Always disconnect the
spark plug wire before servicing your
machine.
1. With the machine on a level surface, set
the parking brake.
2. Put the transmission in Neutral.
3. Test the brake: Try to roll the machine. It
should not move forward or back with the
parking brake set.
4. If the machine does move, turn the nut on
the transaxle (Figures 27 & 28) 1/4 turn
clockwise to tighten the brake. Repeat
Steps 1-3 and readjust if needed.
Note: Turn the nut only 1/4 turn at a time,
then test the brake to see if further
adjustment is needed.
If you can't get the parking brake to release,
turn the nut on the transaxle (Figures 27 &
28) 1/4 turn counterclockwise to loosen the
brake. Repeat Steps 1-3 and readjust if
needed.
Brake Cable Adjustment
The brake cable is factory-set (Figure 29). If
you think the brake cable needs to be adjusted,
you may actually need to replace the brake
pads. Please see page 15 for instructions.
