I purchased my Metro HP (ECS) just over a year ago to mow my yard (1-2 hours/ week) but it has developed a brake problem that I can't figure out. The brakes are adjusted according to the manual, but the right hand brake tends to engage all by itself. I can feel the brake lever move as if I was applying the brake. When this happens, the mower wants to move to the right. The only way to disengage it is to fully apply the right brake and realease it. It is only a matter of minutes before it happens again though.
When looking at the linkage, it appears that brake is dragging or catching to the point that the lower linkage gets pushed up. I can push the linkage down by hand, but the problem reoccurs in a few minutes.
I have tried adusting the brakes so that they are looser, but I have to adjust the brakes to the point that my right brake is ineffective before the problem goes away.
Any idea about what's wrong?
BTW, this is the best cutting mower I've ever had! Thanks!
