PTO Clutch Adjustment
The PTO clutch adjustment should be checked whenever
clutch parts are replaced, when a new belt is installed, or
if the mower belt is slipping.
1. Disengage the PTO lever. Set the mower height
adjustment lever to mid-cut position.
2. Loosen the set collar (B, Figure 29).
3. Pull the clutch rod back until the cotter pin and wash-
er (C) contacts the U-shaped bracket (D). Slide the
set collar (B) forward to remove all slack from the
clutch rod and spring assembly. The collar should be
touching the spring, but not compressing it.
4. Tighten the set collar (B).
Note: the set screw should face the rear of the unit.
5. Engage the PTO lever.
6. Measure the length of the compressed clutch spring
(A). The spring should be 73 mm to 76 mm when
compressed.
7. Check the mower blade stopping time. The blades
should stop within 5 seconds. If the blades do not
stop within 5 seconds contact your authorized dealer.
