Adjusting The Brakes - Ryobi RM480e Traduction Des Instructions Originales

ADJUSTING THE BRAKES

See fig. 27
Being able to stop the mower properly is
critical to mowing safety. If the mower travels
farther before stopping when you step on the
brake pedal, the brakes may need adjusting.
To test:
1. Stop the product on a level surface and
engage the parking brake.
2. Set the direction control switch in neutral
(N) position.
3. Stand behind the mower and try to push it
forward. If the rear tyres turn, the brakes
need to be tightened.
To tighten:
1. Locate the brake adjustment nuts on the
interior side of each of the rear wheels.
2. Turn each adjustment nut 1/4 turn
clockwise, then try again to push the
mower.
3. Continue rotating each nut 1/4 turn and
testing until the mower can no longer be
moved by pushing.
After fi nal adjustment, test the brakes by
driving the mower at normal speed on fl at
ground to be sure the mower stops quickly
when the brake pedal is pressed.

key.

screw and flat washer holding the mower

LEVELLING THE CUTTING DECK

If your lawn appears unevenly cut after
using the mower, the cutting deck may need
adjusting. Before deciding that levelling
the cutting deck is necessary, make sure

recommended pressure when mowing. Over-
