Adjusting the Parking Brake
Note: If your DR POWERWAGON 5.0 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)
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: try to roll
the machine. It should not move
in either direction with the
parking brake set.
4. If it does move, turn the
adjustment nut on the transaxle
(Figure 21) 1/4 turn clockwise
with the 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 adjustment nut
on the transaxle (Figure 21) 1/4
turn counterclockwise with the
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 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.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance procedure, stop the
engine, set the parking brake and disconnect the spark plug wire.
