panel. When the brake is disengaged, the gap
between the brake cross-tube and drive tire
should measure 5/8–3/4 inch (16–19 mm) (see
Figure 26).

4. If the parking brake does not hold securely an
adjustment is required. To adjust the brake,
loosen the jam nuts on the brake linkage rod.
Turn the brake linkage rod clockwise to decrease
the gap and counterclockwise to increase the gap
(seeFigure 26).
5. Tighten the jam nuts.

Electric Clutch Adjustment

No adjustment necessary. However when the clutch
brake has worn to the point where the clutch no
longer engages consistently, the shim can be removed
to extend the clutch life.

Removing the Shim:
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage parking brake. Allow
the machine to cool completely before starting
these instructions.
2. Using a pneumatic line, blow out any debris
from under the brake pole and around the brake
spacers.
3. Check the condition of the wire harness leads,
connectors, and terminals. Clean or repair as
necessary.
4. Verify that 12V is present at the clutch connector
when the PTO switch is engaged.
5. Measure the gap between the rotor and armature.
If the gap is greater than .04 inch (1 mm), proceed
with the following steps:
A. Loosen both brake mounting bolts one-half
to one full turn (see Figure 28).
Note: Do Not remove the brake pole from
the field shell/armature. The brake pole has
worn to match the armature and needs to
continue to match after the shim is removed
to ensure proper brake torque.
