A. Loosen both brake mounting bolts one-half to
one full turn as shown below.
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.

B. Using needle nose pliers, or by hand, take hold
of the tab and remove the shim (Do not discard
the shim until proper clutch function has been
confirmed).

C. Using a pneumatic line, blow out any debris
from under the brake pole and around the brake
spacers.
D. Re-torque each bolt (M6 x 1) to 13 N-m (10 ft-lb)
+/-0.7 N-m (0.5 ft-lb).
E. Using a 0.010 inch thick feeler gauge, verify that
a gap is present between the rotor and armature
face on both sides of the brake pole as shown.
(Due to the way the rotor and armature faces
wear (peaks and valleys) it is sometimes difficult
to measure the true gap.)

•
If the gap is less than 0.010 inch, then reinstall
the shim and refer to
66).
•
If the gap is sufficient, proceed to the safety
check in step F.
F. Perform the following safety check:
i. Sit on the seat and start the engine.
ii. Make sure the blades Do not engage with
the PTO switch "off " and the clutch
disengaged.
If the clutch does not disengage, install
the shim and refer to
(page
iii. Engage and disengage the PTO switch
ten consecutive times to ensure the
clutch is functioning properly. If the
clutch does not engage properly, refer to
