TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH

The electric clutch should provide years of service. The clutch has a built-in brake

that stops the pulley within 5 seconds. Eventually, the internal brake will wear which may cause the mower blades to not engage, or, to not stop as required.

Adjustments should be made by a Sears or other qualified service center.

1.Make sure attachment clutch and igni- tion switches are in "OFF" position.

2.Adjust the three nylon Iocknuts until space between clutch plate and rotor measures .012" at all three slot loca-

tions cut in the side of brake plate. NOTE: After installing a new electric clutch, run tractor at full throttle and engage and disengage electric clutch 10

cycles to wear in clutch plate. Rotor

TO CHECK AND ADJUST BRAKE

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be checked and adjusted.

TO CHECK BRAKE

1.Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and engage parking brake.

2.Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in "transmission dis-

engaged" position. Pull freewheel con- trol out and into the slot and release so

it is held in the disengaged position. The rear wheels must lock and skid when

you try to manually push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, the brake needs to be adjusted or the pads need to be replaced.

TO ADJUST BRAKE

Contact a Sears or other qualified service center.
