Adjustments

■ Adjusting various parts

〈Adjusting engine parts〉

●

Adjustments related to engine trouble, such as adjustment of the carburetor, affect the basic perfor-

mance of the mower and should be performed by a Shibaura business or sales office.

〈Adjusting the brakes〉

1. Turn the installation knob on the front cover in the

counterclockwise direction to loosen it, and open the

cover by lifting it upwards with your hands.

2. Use a spanner to loosen the two brake wire locknuts by

turning them in opposite directions.

3. Make adjustments so that the tires lock if the mower is

pulled toward the operator while the brake lever is en-

gaged fully (locked).

4. After adjustments are complete, tighten the two lock-

nuts by turning them in the directions opposite to step

2 to fix the length of the wires.

5. Close the front cover, and turn the installation knob on

the front cover in the clockwise direction until it stops

to fix the front cover.

●

After making these adjustments, follow the procedure under
“Checking the operation of the brakes” on page 17 to

check the operation of the brakes.

●

Make sure that the brakes do not operate when the brake

lever is released.

Warning

●

Be sure to stop the engine, and disengage the

main clutch, blade clutch, and shift knob before

adjusting the brakes.

●

Immediately after stopping the engine, wait for

the engine to cool before making adjustments.
