7.Torque the cable clamp screw to 100 to 120 in-lb (11 to 14 N-m) to lock the adjustment in place.

Do not overtighten the blade brake cable. Overtightening the blade brake cable could prevent the blade brake from contacting the brake drum when you release the control bar. If the blade brake does not contact the brake drum, the blade will not stop rotating, which could cause serious personal injury.

•Each time you adjust the brake cable, ensure that the brake stops the blade in 3 seconds or less.

•If the blade does not stop rotating in 3 seconds or less, bring the mower to an Authorized Service Dealer for inspection and repair.
