Hi, I'm a new DK40SE HST owner. When I unlock the brake pedals (on the lower left) the left one rises about 1/2"-3/4" higher than the right. Is that normal? Can that be adjusted? It's just bugs me.

I don't know about Koiti but my Mahindra has separate adjustments for the left and right brakes.

Yes it can be adjusted, see your manual.

I found in the manual where to adjust the brakes but not the pedals. Can you aid? Thank you.

I don't believe there is an actual adjustment to the brake linings themselves as on a car or truck. What you're adjusting is the free travel of the pedal before brake engagement by changing the length for the linkage. That should raise or lower where the pedals rest at full up. I adjust mine separately so they engage at the same pedal height for equal braking each side. I then connect the pedals being that it's an hst with the drive pedal and brakes on the same side making brake steering useless. Mine is a CK30hst and your DK40 may be different.

Yeah the DK is on the left, and brake steer is very useful and comfortable to do with HST. You should be able to adjust them to match, mine do, and you want it easy to flip the split lever back and forth without struggle from the operators seat.
