7.2 Adjusting blade brake clutch cable
To operate correctly, the clutch needs a 23kg (50Lb) load to be applied. This is
applied via the spring and clutch cable.
IMPORTANT: The blade brake clutch has been factory set, a maintaining spring has
been fitted to keep the correct load applied to the clutch. Incorrect adjustments will
result in damage to the machine.
If the collection performance drops or the blades are slow to engage, first check the
load applied to the clutch. The blade brake clutch has been marked to show the
position of the activation lever when the correct load is applied.
To check the clutch load proceed as follows:
Make the mower safe, then tilt it back to view the clutch.
Using a spanner loosen the lock nuts
Move the adjuster OUT in the direction
shown. Make adjustments in small
increments checking progress by operating
the machine.
If the mower creeps forward before the clutch
drive lever is operated, move the adjuster IN
towards the front of the machine.
