SCAG ZTR parking brake adjustment

How to adjust the parking brake, in particular if the petal is too hard to push. New from factory this machine had a very difficult brake petal. Dealer had no good resolution. Following readjustment the problem was resolved.

Super great advice what’s also funny is the issue with my scag is that the parking brake is so loose it moves around in the trailer

Now that mine is adjusted right it works perfectly. To be honest, the parking brake setup was better on my old Turf Tiger, wish they didn’t mess with that on the new ones.

Thank you. Now that the brake works properly I love the machine.

Do you still have your old brown ford van

[@chatrkat]

SuperDutyMan yes, it’s safely parked in the garage out of the elementals.

Same problem on our 2021.

I can’t understand how a manufacturer like Scag, that produces top grade equipment, can send a mower out of the factory with that brake problem. My dealer reported he’s had other complaints about this issue. I hope you were able to readjust yours successfully.
