Clutch Disengagement/Brake Action
WARNING
It is important to check and maintain blade brake action for safe operation of the machine.
The declutched or disengaged position of the blade clutch idler pulley is adjustable and is set to give belt release without excessive slack and to apply the blade brake. The blade brake is activated by the brake actuator rod linkage to the clutch idler pulley mechanism. The brake is designed to stop the blades within five (5) seconds after disengaging the clutch.
