TO CHECK BRAKE 
If tractor requires more than fi ve (5) feet to 
stop at highest speed in high est gear on a 
level, dry concrete or paved surface, then 
brake must be serviced.
You may also check brake by:
1.   Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or 

paved surface, depress brake pedal 
all the way down and engage parking 
brake.

2.   Disengage transmission by placing 

freewheel control in “transmission dis-
engaged” position. Pull freewheel con-
trol out and into the slot and release so 
it is held in the disengaged position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid 
when you try to manually push the tractor 
forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the 
brake needs to be serviced. Contact a 
qualifi ed service center.

5.   Replace axle cover.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and pre vent 
fl at tires due to slow leaks, purchase and 
use tire sealant. Tire sealant also pre vents 
tire dry rot and corrosion.
