Fuse Location - Brave BRPRC108HEB Owner's Manual

Adjust the nuts on the spring-loaded idler adjuster bolt until the length of the spring is between 2-
1/2" and 2-9/16". This is the initial belt break in spring length. When the belt is broken in after
several hours of mowing, the running spring length should be between 2-3/4" and 3-1/4". For
maximum belt life, periodic checks every 3-4 hours should be done to make sure the spring length
has not exceeded the recommended running length.
Note: Failure to periodically adjust the belt tension will result in severe belt wear and
premature belt failure.
G. MOWER BLADE REMOVAL, BALANCING & INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Sharp blades can cause bodily injury if not handled properly.
When removing the blade, it is recommended that a block of wood be placed between the blade
and the underside of the mower deck. This will allow the removal of the blade without the need to
hold the blade by hand.
CAUTION: Always balance the mower blades each time they are sharpened.
Out of balance mower blades cause excessive vibrations which lead to premature bearing
failures, bolts coming loose, and overall deterioration of the mower.
CAUTION: Always properly tighten the blade bolts to the specified torque. Failure to do so
can lead to unwanted loosening of the blade and damage to the blade holding saddle.
The Model BRPRC108HE uses Part # (202141) blade bolt. This particular hex head bolt is a 3/4"
– 16NF x 1-1/4" long, grade 5 and its proper torque is 300 ft-lbs.
To ease in the blade installation process, use the same block of wood and method used during
the removal of the blades.
H. LUBRICATION
There are three lubrication points on the rough cut mower -- one spring-loaded idler pivot and
two caster wheel pivots. Lubricate at approximately 10 hr. intervals or more often as required in
dusty conditions.
I. FUSE LOCATION
These particular mowers come equipped with a 10 AMP mini blade type fuse. The fuse is located
behind the ignition switch/control panel in a black rubber inline fuse holder.
J. STORAGE
Turn off the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The off
position on the valve is when the red handle lines up with the "O" symbol. If the mower is stored
outside, the engine should be covered to prevent water from getting inside the engine during
heavy rainstorms. See the Engine Manual for additional information.
