How To Adjust The Blade Rotation Control

WARNING: To prevent an injury, the blade rotation control must operate correctly.

In normal usage, the blade rotation control will not require an adjustment. However, if the cutting per- formance decreases or the quality of cut is poor, make the following changes.

1.When you mow, make sure the throttle con- trol is in the FAST position.

2.(Figure 11) Move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position (1).

3.Stop the engine. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

4.Check the blade(s). Keep a sharp edge on the blade(s). A blade that is not sharp will cause the tips of the grass to become brown.

5.(Figure 12) Disconnect the blade drive spring (2) from the blade control rod (1). Move the blade drive spring (2) to the middle hole (4). This will increase the tension on the mower drive belt.

6.Attach the wire to the spark plug. Mow for a short distance and again check the quality of cut. If necessary, move the blade drive spring (2) to the bottom hole (5)

7.Again check the quality of cut. If the quality of cut has not improved, replace the mower drive belt. See ªHow To Replace The Mower Drive Beltº. If the replacing the belt does not correct the problem, take the unit to an auth- orized service centre.

8.Move the blade rotation control to the DIS- ENGAGE position. Stop the engine.

9.(Figure 15) Check the operation of the blade brake. Rotate the pulleys with your hand. Make sure the brake pads (12) are pressed tightly against the pulleys

WARNING: If the brake pads (12) do not press tightly against the pulleys, take the unit to an author-

ized service centre.

10.(Figure 11) Move the blade rotation control to the ENGAGE position (2).

11.(Figure 15) Check the pads for the blade brake (12). If the pads are excessively worn or damaged, replace the brake pad assem- blies. Correct replacement parts and assist- ance are available from an authorized service centre.

12.Attach the wire to the spark plug. Mow for a short distance and again check the operation of the blade rotation control.

13.When you move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE position, all movement will stop within five seconds. If there is move- ment of the belt or the blades continue to ro- tate, engage and disengage the blade rotation control five times to remove any ex- cess rubber from a new mower drive belt. If you need assistance, take the unit to an authorized service centre.

14.(Figure 12) If you replace the mower drive belt, move the blade drive spring (2) to the top hole (3).
