Maintenance Instructions ADJUSTMENTS86Blade Brake Band AdjustmentNOTE: The length of the actuator rod is adjustedby disconnecting the bottom clevis and shorteningor lengthening accordingly. The standard pre-setlength of the actuator rod is set at the factory at8-1/4 in. (209 mm).Brake Actuator Rod Adjustment2. After adjustments are complete, check bladebrake action as described in CHECKING/SER-VICING the Blade Brake Action in this section.If blades do not stop within five (5) seconds,check the following:a. Recheck 1/8 in. (3 mm) gap between stopblock and chassis.b. Make sure clutch and brake linkage areworking freely (no binding).c. Check the brake band lining.d. Check the brake drum on the pulley. Ifexcessive wear is present, it will be neces-sary to replace worn parts.Transmission ControlIMPORTANT: The proper adjustment of the trans-mission control stops is essential for efficient oper-ation and life of the transmission. These stops areproperly adjusted at the factory and should only re-quire readjustment if the transmission or relatedcontrol linkage is removed or changed.NOTE: It would not be unusual for a new machine,after initial 5 or 10 hours of operation, to begin to nottravel straight (this is due to the break-in of thetransmissions). In this case, proceed to StraightGround Travel Adjustment - Step 4.IMPORTANT: The following adjustment proceduresare sequential. Check and adjust each function inthe order given.Set Forward Travel Limit (Stop) - Step 11. Move the Forward Speed Control (FSC) lever tothe most FORWARD position.2. Check clearance of the RH and LH steering le-ver actuator arms with the frame and adjust for-ward stop bolt so each lever clears the frameby at least 1/16 in. (1.6 mm).
