BRAKE ADJUSTMENT: LOWER ROD - The
brake assembly has been set at the factory.
However, they may periodically need
adjustment. As a rule of thumb, the bottom
bend of the lower brake rod (3:14) should be
3/8” lower than the center of the pivot boss hole
in the brake arm (3:5). If adjustment is needed,
simply thread the 5/16 wing nut (3:20) in or out
to obtain specified adjustment.
•
UPPER ROD - To adjust brake handles for
comfortable grip, remove bridge pin and fender
washer securing top of upper brake rod to
brake lever assembly. Slide end of rod out of
brake handle, turn rod in or out of rod fitting end
replace rod into brake handle, check, readjust
as needed; when set to desired position,
replace washer and bridge pin. NOTE: After
adjustment, be sure mower stops completely
and uniformly when brake handles are
squeezed.
•
BLADE BELT ADJUSTMENT: We recommend checking belt tension after one hour and then after the
next 10 hours of operation, then re-check after each 50 hours of use. To check tension, first engage cutting
blades. Place a belt tensioning gauge in the center of the belt span. The gauge should read 10 pounds
pressure with a 3/8" deflection. To adjust belt tension:
•
Loosen the outer nut of the doubled nut set
(1:44) securing tensioning rod, then tighten or
loosen nut to adjust tension. Recheck, readjust
as needed. Tighten inner nut securely against
outer nut when final adjustment is achieved.
