Blade clutch lever
Run
〈Checking the operation of the blade clutch〉
1. With the engine stopped, grip the blade clutch lever and
pull it into the " Run " position (toward you).
!
When the midpoint of the range in which the blade clutch
lever moves has been passed, the lever will naturally fall to-
ward the operator.
!
When the blade clutch lever is in the " Run " position, if you
do not feel any resistance, or if the clutch does not oper-
ate at all, it is possible that the clutch wire has snapped or
rusted. Contact a Shibaura business or sales office to re-
quest inspection and replacement of the clutch wire.
2. Place the shift knob in the " H " or " L " position.
3. Move the blade clutch lever completely in to the " Run " po-
sition, hold the handle with both hands, and try pulling the
mower backward to confirm that the blades turn in reverse.
!
If the blades do not turn, the blade clutch wire has
stretched and requires adjustment. See "Adjusting the
blade clutch" on page 34.)
