SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH (See Fig. 24)

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 your nearest authorized service center/department.

•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.

BELT INSTALLATION -

•Install new belt around engine pulley first, then around transaxle pulley and lastly into all the idler pulleys.

•Check to be sure belt is positioned correctly and is on proper side of all belt keepers.

•Engage the drive belt tension handle and replace the retainer spring.
