Pto Clutch Adjustment; Mower Beit Stopping Time - Simplicity Sovereign 1692143 Operator's Manual

PTO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The PTO clutch is properly adjusted when the clutch pulley
(C, figure 24) moves away from clutch cone (D) 1/16 inch (1.5
mm) when clutch is disengaged. To adjust, proceed as
follows.
1. Loosen the rear nut (B).
2. Turn the front nut slightly clockwise to increase pulley
travel or counterclockwise to decrease pulley travel.
3. Tighten the rear nut against the front nut and repeat the
check.
4. Adjust locknut (E) so there is 1/8" (3 mm) between
locknut (E) and pivot arm when clutch is disengaged.
MOWER BELT STOPPING TIME
Brake pads installed on the PTO clutch will stop the mower
drive belt and blades within several seconds.
If the PTO clutch is serviced or adjusted, check the mower
belt stopping time by observing the belt when the PTO is
disengaged. If belt does not stop within five seconds, PTO
clutch must be adjusted or clutch brake requires service. See
"PTO Clutch Adjustment".
