Adjusting the Parking Brake
NOTE: If your DR POWERWAGON-PRO rolls on slopes when the Parking Brake is set, or if you cannot get
the Parking Brake to set, it needs to be adjusted (Figure 18).
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 Adjustment Nut on
the Transaxle (Figure 19) 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 cannot get the Parking Brake to release,
turn the Adjustment Nut on the Transaxle
(Figure 19) 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 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.
