Checking Manual Brakes

RXA0108454-UN-12JUL10

A - Brake Pedal

SERVICE INTERVAL — 250 HOURS

With engine stopped, check manual brakes for correct function:

1. Pump brake pedal. Pedal (A) should have a solid feel. If the pedal does not feel solid, bleeding the brakes may be necessary. See your John Deere Dealer.

2. Be sure the pedal does not settle to the end of stroke within 10 seconds after being applied. If leakage exceeds this rate, see your John Deere Dealer.

   IMPORTANT: Any noticeable pedal drift downward from the point of resistance indicates brake leakage. See your John Deere Dealer.

   A solid pedal is important for emergency braking conditions.
