Adjust Blade Height
Level and pitch the mower with the height
adjusters (3) on each deck lift bracket
(Figure 38).
1. Turn the adjustment bolt (1) clockwise to
lower the deck or counterclockwise to
raise the deck.
2. Adjust all four corners of the deck to
desired pitch, ensuring that deck is even
side to side and front to back.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
If clutch fails to engage or disengage properly
or begins to make abnormal noise, check the
air gap adjustment at the three inspection
slots (Figure 39).
To check:
1. Stop engine, remove key and wait for all
hot parts to cool.
2. Measure the air gap between the
armature and the rotor.
• Minimum: A .016" feeler gauge should
slide between armature and rotor with
slight contact.
• Maximum: A .020" feeler gauge
should slide between armature and
rotor with slight contact.
3. Repeat for each inspection slot.
To adjust:
1. If necessary, loosen gap adjustment
nuts until a .016" feeler gauge fits
between armature and rotor.
2. Slide a .020" feeler gauge between
armature and rotor.
3. Tighten gap adjustment nut until there is
slight contact on feeler gauge.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 at each inspection
slot.
NOTICE: Adjust air gap as evenly as
possible.
5. Start unit, engage and disengage PTO.
6. Shut off unit.
7. Recheck air gap and adjust if needed.
