TO CHECK BRAKE
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to
stop at highest speed in highest 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
Sears or other qualified service center.
