Checking the Blade Brake Clutch

Check the blade control bar before each use to ensure that the blade brake clutch system is operating properly.

You can use the grass bag to perform an additional test to check the blade brake clutch mechanism:

1.Install the empty grass bag on the discharge tunnel.

2.Start the engine.

3.Pull the blade control bar to the normal blade engaged position. The bag should begin to inflate, indicating that the blade is engaged and rotating.

4.Release the blade control bail. If the bag does not immediately deflate, it indicates that the blade is still rotating. The blade brake clutch mechanism may be deteriorating, and, if ignored, could result in an unsafe operating condition. Have the lawn mower inspected and serviced by an Authorized Service Dealer.

If the blade brake clutch system is inoperative, the blade will continue to rotate when you release the blade control bail. Contact with blade could occur, causing serious injury.

•Check the blade brake clutch operation before each use.

•Never use a mower equipped with a blade brake clutch that has an inoperative safety system.

•Take your mower to an Authorized Service Dealer for repair if the safety system fails to operate properly.
