SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

•Make sure attachment clutch and ignition switches are in “OFF” position.

•Adjust the three nylon locknuts until space between clutch plate and rotor measures .012" at all three slot locations cut in 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.
