TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH (See Fig. 26)

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.

TO ADJUST BRAKE (See Fig. 27)

Your tractor is equipped with an adjustable brake system which is mounted on the left side of the transaxle.

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance at high speed in highest gear on a level dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be adjusted.

•Depress clutch/brake pedal and engage parking brake.

•Measure distance between brake operating arm and nut “A” on brake rod.

•If distance is other than 1-3/4", loosen jam nut and turn nut “A” until distance becomes 1-3/4". Retighten jam nut against nut “A”.

•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.
