SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT(See FIGS. 25 and 26)
To obtain the best cutting results, the mower housing should
be adjusted so the rear is approximately 7/8” to 1 -1/8” higher
than the front when the mower is in its highest position.
Measure distance “D” from ground line to bottom of deck cur!
at centerline of mandrels.
® To raise rear of mower, loosen nut “E” on both rear sus­
pension arms. Screw both nuts “F” on both rear suspen­
sion arms an equal number of turns.
• When distance “D” is 7/8” to 1-1/8” higher at rear than
front, retighten nuts “E”. •
• Recheck side-to-side adjustment.
IMPORTANT: WHEN ADJUSTING REAR SUSPENSION
TRUNNIONS, ALWAYS ADJUST BOTH
EQUALLY SO MOWER WILL STAY
LEVEL SIDE-TO-SIDE.
TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH (See
FIG. 27)
The electric clutch should provide years of service. The
clutch has a built-in brake that stops the pulley within 5 sec­
onds. Eventually, the internal brake will wear so the mower
blades will not stop as recommended. Adjustments should
be made
by an authorized service technician.
• Make sure attachment clutch and ignition switches are in
the “OFF" position.
• Adjust the three nylon lock nuts until the space between
the clutch plate and the rotor, measures .012 inches at all
three slot locations cut in the side of the brake plate.
NOTE: After installing a new electric clutch. Run tractor at
full throttle, and engage and disengage electric clutch 1 0 cy­
cles to wear in clutch plate.
