Service Adjustments

36B, 36BX, 36H, 36HX, 52H, 52HX

WARNING

DANGER: Before making any adjustments and/or servicing your lawn mower, make sure the lawn mower is on level ground, blades disengaged, key removed, and the engine off with the spark plug wire(s) removed from the spark plug(s) to prevent ac- cidental contact. If adjustments or maintenance is being per- formed after operation of the lawn mower, allow the unit to cool since heat build up could cause severe burns.

Drive Belt and Brake Adjustment, 36B and BX Models:

To adjust the actuation of the brake and the drive belt, there are two adjustable “swivels” attached to threaded rods in the belt / clutch / brake assembly.

The objectives of fine tuning the adjustment are to:

1.Equalize the “feel” and action between pistol grips on each side of the mower.

2.Achieve desired belt slippage with approximately 50% to 75% travel of the handle bar grips.

3.Achieve brake activation during the last 50% travel of the han- dle grips.

4.Achieve locked brakes when the handle bar grips are locked in the “parking brake position.”

The upper swivel adjusts primarily the belt slippage on the pulley. To adjust the belt slippage, place the mower in 1st gear and move until locked in gear. Remove the retaining pin (A) and the washer. Pull the swivel out of the hole. Rotate the swivel in the desired direction on the threaded rod to achieve the desired feel and mo- tion. Place the swivel back into the hole. Reconnect the pin and washer. Test the belt slippage action of the controls by squeezing the pistol grip lever. Continue adjusting until you have achieve the desired feel. Once complete with one side, perform the identical adjustments to the other side.

To adjust the brake activation, start by releasing the parking brake and leave the handle bar grip in a neutral position. Remove retain- ing clip (B) and washer. Rotate the swivel in the desired direction on the threaded rod to achieve the desired brake activation position and feel. Place the swivel back into the hole. Reconnect the pin and washer. Test the belt slippage action of the controls by squeezing the pistol grip lever. Continue adjusting until you have achieve the desired feel. Once complete with one side, perform the identical adjustments to the other side.

Engine to Blade Belt Adjustment:

1.Remove the deck cover and move the blade control lever on the control console to the “ON” position.

2.With approximately 10 lbs of pressure being applied on the engine to blade belt midway between with pulleys, the belt should move approximately ½”.

3.If the belt moves more than ½”, move the blade control lever back to the “OFF” position.

4.Loosen locking nut “X”.

5.Rotate turnbuckle “Y” until desired tension is achieved.

6.Tighten locking nut “A” when finished

7.Replace deck cover.

IMPORTANT! The mower belts are adjusted to ensure the blades stop turning within 7 seconds of releasing the blade control lever. If you are making any belt adjust- ments whatsoever, for your safety and the safety of oth- ers around you, you must ensure the belts are re- adjusted to achieve this design specification.

52” Blade to Blade Belt Adjustment:

1.Remove the deck cover.

2. With approximately 10

lbs of pressure being

 

 

 

applied on the blade to

 

 

blade belt, midway be-

 

 

tween the pulleys, the

 

 

belt should move ap-

 

 

proximately ½”.

 

 

3.If the belt moves more than ½”, Loosen locking

nut “M” and turn nut “N” clockwise approximately 1-2 turn.

4.Recheck the tension on the blade to blade belt. If it is still loose repeat step 3. Important: Do not over tighten the blade to blade belt. Over tension can cause prema- ture wear on belts and blade spindles.

5.Re-tighten locking nut “M.”

6.Replace deck cover.
