move.  If the following procedures do not allow you to
engage the parking brake properly, contact your Scag

approximately 1" before the brake hand lever is
against the stop on the handle bar.

machine to obtain proper brake adjustment.

Neutral or tracking adjustments will need to be made if:

A. The steering control is in the neutral position and

the machine creeps forward or backward.
(Neutral Adjustment).

B. The steering control is in the full forward position

and the mower pulls to one side or the other
when traveling in a forward direction. (Tracking
