loose nut or blade can cause an
accident.
9. Tighten the
nut (3)
that holds the
blade (1)
to
a torque of 30 foot pounds (41,5 Nm).
10.Install the mower housing. See “How To Re-
move The Mower Housing”.
How To Adjust The Blade Rotation
Control
WARNING: To prevent an injury, the
blade rotation control must operate
correctly.
In normal usage, the blade rotation control will
not require an adjustment. However, if the cut-
ting performance decreases or the quality of cut
is poor, make the following changes.
1. When you mow, make sure the throttle con-
trol in in the FAST position.
2.
(Figure 8
)
Move the blade rotation control to
the
DISENGAGE position (1)
.
3. Stop the engine. Disconnect the wire from
the spark plug.
4. Check the blade(s). Keep a sharp edge on
the blade(s). A blade that is not sharp will
cause the tips of the grass to become brown.
5.
(Figure 9)
Disconnect the
blade drive
spring (2)
from the
blade control rod (1)
.
Move the
blade drive spring (2)
to the
middle hole (4)
. This will increase the ten-
sion on the mower drive belt
.
6. Attach the wire to the spark plug. Mow for a
short distance and again check the quality of
cut. If necessary, move the
blade drive
spring (2)
to the
bottom hole
(5)
7. Again check the quality of cut. If the quality of
cut has not improved, replace the mower
drive belt
.
See “How To Replace The Mower
Drive Belt”. If the replacing the belt does not
correct the problem, take the unit to an auth-
orized service centre.
8. Move the blade rotation control to the DIS-
ENGAGE position. Stop the engine.
9.
(Figure 10)
Check the operation of the blade
brake. Rotate the pulleys with your hand.
Make sure the
brake pads (1)
are pressed
tightly against the pulleys
WARNING: If the brake pads (1) do
not press tightly against the
pulleys, take the unit to an author-
ized service centre.
10.
(Figure 8)
Move the blade rotation control to
the
ENGAGE position (2).
11.
(Figure 10)
Check the pads for the
blade
brake (7)
. If the pads are excessively worn
or damaged, replace the brake pad assem-
blies. Correct replacement parts and assist-
ance are available from an authorized
service centre.
12.Attach the wire to the spark plug. Mow for a
short distance and again check the operation
of the blade rotation control.
13.When you move the blade rotation control to
the DISENGAGE position, all movement will
stop within five seconds. If there is move-
ment of the belt or the blades continue to ro-
tate, engage and disengage the blade
rotation control five times to remove any ex-
cess rubber from a new mower drive belt. If
you need assistance, take the unit to an
authorized service centre.

How To Check And Adjust The Motion
Drive Belt
(Figure 18 and Figure 21)
If the motion drive belt is loose, the belt will slip
when; going up a hill, pulling a heavy load, or the
unit will not move forward.
IMPORTANT: Always operate with the engine
speed in the FAST position. If the engine
speed is in a slow or moderate position, the
engine and transmission can become too hot
and cause problems that are similar to a
loose motion drive belt.
WARNING: Before you make an in-
spection, adjustment, or repair to
the unit, disconnect the wire to the
spark plug. Remove the wire from the
spark plug to prevent the engine from
starting by accident.

(Figure 21)
Check the routing of the
motion
drive belt (6).
Make sure the
motion drive
belt (6)
is installed correctly and is inside all
the
belt guides (7)
.
2.
(Figure 18)
Disconnect the
clutch link (1)
from the
idler arm (2)
.

(Figure 21)
Align the hole in the
brake lever
(3)
with the hole in the frame. Hold the
brake
lever (3)
in place with a
1/4 inch (6 mm) pin
or bolt (4)
.
4.
(Figure 18)
Rotate the
clutch link (1)
until
the
mounting hole (5)
in the
clutch link (1)
is aligned with the
mounting hole (5)
in the
idler arm (2)
.
5. Connect the
clutch link (1)
to the
idler arm
(2)
.
6.
(Figure 21)
Remove the
1/4 inch (6 mm)
pin or bolt (4)
.
7. If the belt still slips after the belt has been
adjusted, then the motion drive belt is worn
or damaged and must be replaced. See
“How To Replace The Motion Drive Belt”.

How To Level The Mower Housing
(Figure 13 and Figure 14)
If the mower housing is level, the blade will cut
easier and the lawn will look better.
WARNING: Before you make an in-
spection, adjustment, or repair to
the unit, disconnect the wire to the
spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to
prevent the engine from starting by acci-
dent
1. Make sure the unit is on a hard flat surface.
2. Check the air pressure in the tyres. If the air
pressure is incorrect, the mower housing will
not cut level. Make sure the tyres are inflated
to: Front Tyres 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear
Tyres 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).
