4.2.5. BLADE BRAKE
The blade switch engages the electric clutch when
pulled out to the “ON” position. When the blade switch
is in the “ON” position the cutting blade(s) are
engaged. The blade switch disengages the electric
clutch when the blade switch is pushed in to the “OFF”
position. When the blade switch is in the “OFF”
position the cutting blade(s) are disengaged. The
electric clutch is non-adjustable. The blade(s) should
stop rotation in 5 seconds. If the electric clutch fails to
stop the blade(s) rotation in 5 seconds, contact an
authorized SNAPPER dealer to repair or replace.
WARNING
DO NOT operate machine if blade(s) fail to stop in 5
seconds or less.
4.2.6. MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)
Side-To-Side (48” Decks)
Before making deck leveling adjustments, check
the tire pressure. Add or release air as needed to
bring pressure to 10 PSI in front and 10 PSI in rear
tires. If tires are properly inflated and mowing is still
uneven, adjust side-to-side deck levelness first as
follows:
1. Place YARD CRUISER on a smooth level
surface.
2. Remove floor pan.
3. Rotate outside blades so tips are pointed to
the sides of deck. See Figure 4.4. Measure the
distance from blade tips to floor. If the
measurement is within 1/8” from side-to-side, the
deck levelness is satisfactory. If the difference from
side-to-side is greater than 1/8”, continue to Step 4
for adjustment.
4. Remove hair pin from pivot rod and pull rod
out of lift arm.
5. Rotate pivot rod up or down to achieve the
proper levelness. See Figure 4.5.
6. Reinstall hair pin into pivot rod.
7. Reinstall floor pan.
