Note: Be sure that the brake puck is centered and contacts both sides of the pulley groove after tightening.

Note: Before installing fasteners, inspect them for wear and replace as necessary. Be sure that when reinstalling control cable spring (B), the open side of the spring hook faces up.

11. Check the operation of the clutch and brake mechanism.

The drive belt should be slack and the brake engaged (center pulley will not turn easily by hand) when no pressure is exerted on blade drive lever.

Note: When the blade drive lever is depressed, the brake puck should not rub on the center pulley, the belt should be under tension, and not rub on the belt finger (see figure 17-10).
