Adjusting the Parking Brake
NOTE: If your DR POWERWAGON-PREMIER rolls on slopes when the Parking Brake is set, or if you can't
get the Parking Brake to set, it needs to be adjusted (Figure 21).
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, YOU MUST FIRST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, SET THE
PARKING BRAKE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW PARTS TO COOL AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK
PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
Tool Needed:
•
1/2" Wrench or Socket
1. With the machine on a level surface, set the Parking Brake.
2. Put the Transmission in "N" (Neutral).
3. Test the Parking Brake by trying to roll the machine. It should not move in either direction with the
Parking Brake set.
4. If it does move, turn the Brake Adjustment Nut on the Transaxle (Figure 21) 1/4 turn clockwise with
a 1/2" Wrench to tighten the Parking Brake. Test the Parking Brake as described in Steps 1-3.
Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
5. If you can't get the Parking Brake to release, turn the Brake Adjustment Nut (Figure 21) on the
Transaxle 1/4 turn counterclockwise with a 1/2" Wrench to loosen the Parking Brake. Test the
Parking Brake, as described in Steps 1-3. Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
NOTE: Turn the Brake Adjustment Nut only 1/4 turn at a time, and then test the Parking Brake to see if the
adjustment worked. If needed, adjust the Nut another 1/4 turn and test again.
