5.8 Brake Adjustment
1. The engine RPM should be 1150 when idling and 3000 when running.
2. The throttle cable mounting bolt should be placed in the middle hole of the acceleration lever located
on the engine.
3. Adjust the brake using turnbuckle so that, the braking time is about 5 seconds and the brake blocks
are not touching the blade wheel with the linear actuator fully closed (minimum actuator length).
4. With the actuator fully opened (maximum actuator length) during braking, the spring supporting the
actuator should be deflected as well as the spring guard along with the actuator mount block with
shaft should slide.
