WARNING

DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance, service or repairs with the engine running. Stop engine. Stop blade. Engage parking brake. Remove key. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure away from plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow all parts to cool before working on machine. Fuel Filler Cap and Vent must be closed securely to prevent fuel spillage. Once blade is disengaged, it should come to a complete stop in 3 seconds or less. If the blade continues to rotate after 3 seconds, the blade brake must be adjusted. Refer to Section “BLADE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT” for adjustment procedures or return machine to an authorized SNAPPER dealer for adjustment. DO NOT CONTINUE to operate machine until blade brake is adjusted and functioning properly.

4.2.1. BLADE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

The automatic Blade Brake should stop the blades within 3 seconds anytime the blades are disengaged by moving blade lever to the "OFF" position or by releasing the Blade Pedals. When the Blade Brake is properly adjusted there should be 3” to 3-1/4" clearance between the Blade Engagement Lever and the edge of the Latch Plate. Check this by disengaging the Blade Lever as shown in Figure 4.1. Perform the following measurement and adjustment.

1.With the blade engagement lever disengaged, measure the distance between the front of the blade lever and the edge of the latch plate. The dimension should be 3” to 3-1/4" clearance between lever and edge of plate. See Figure 4.1. If the dimension is incorrect go to step 2.

2.Remove Belt Cover. Refer to Section “BLADE BELT COVER REMOVAL”.

3.If dimension is greater than 3-1/4”, rotate nut clockwise to increase brake tension. If dimension is less than 3”, rotate nut counter-clockwise to decrease brake tension. See Figure 4.2.

4.Reinstall belt cover and tighten bolts securely.

WARNING

DO NOT operate machine until blade brake is adjusted and functioning properly. If blade stop time can not be achieved with the adjustment procedure described above, take machine immediately to an authorized Snapper dealer.
