Husqvarna LTH130 owner manual Transmission REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT, To Adjust Steering Wheel Alignment

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

•Road test tractor for proper stopping distance as stated above. Readjust if necessary. If stopping distance is still greater than six (6) feet in highest gear, further maintenance is necessary. Contact your nearest au- thorized service center/department.

TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH (See Fig. 27B)

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 the 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.

TO ADJUST MOTION CONTROL LEVER (See Fig. 29)

The motion control lever has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary.

If for any reason the motion control lever will not hold its position while at a selected speed, it may be adjusted at the friction pack located on the right side of transmission.

•Park tractor on level surface. Stop tractor by turning ignition key to “OFF” position, and engage parking brake.

•Adjust motion control lever by tightening adjustment locknut one half (1/2) turn.

NOTE: If for any reason the effort to move the motion control lever becomes too excessive, reverse the above adjustment procedure by loosening locknut 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

Road test tractor after adjustment and repeat procedure if necessary.
