Check Manual Brakes

RXA0068386-UN-27AUG03

A - Left Brake Pedal

B - Latch Bar

C - Right Brake Pedal

IMPORTANT: Any noticeable pedal drift downward from initial point of resistance (solid pedal) indicates brake leakage. See your John Deere dealer.

1. Machine must be in park with engine shut off to check brakes for correct function.

2. Position latch bar (B) to allow brake pedals to operate separately.

3. Pump the left brake pedal (A) and right brake pedal (C) individually. Pedals should have a solid feel. If pedals do not feel solid, have your John Deere dealer bleed brakes.

4. Check to make sure that pedals do not settle to end of stroke within 10 seconds after being applied. If leakage exceeds this rate or if one pedal settles faster than the other, see your John Deere dealer.
