Blade Brake Adjustment

Inspect the mower deck with the mower
attached and PTO rod released. The blade
brake rods (A, figure 48) should firmly
contact the belt (B) at the rear of the right
and left arbor pulleys. There should be a
shaft clearance between the two brake rods
in the center.
To adjust blade brake rods, loosen the
mounting brackets (C) and adjust rods for
clearance. Retighten bracket bolts and
check again. Engage the PTO and be sure
that brake rods are at least 1/8" from belts.
