STARTING & STOPPING MOWER BLADE
|
The Automatic Blade Stop Qontrols should stop the
|
blade in less than 3 seconds - AFTER the BLADE
I
pedals (4-C) are released. The BLADE lever (3-C) must
be shifted forward and to the right to activate the blade,
and then the BLADE pedals (4-C) are depressed to keep
the blade engaged.
j
NOTE: TheBLADEIever will NOT move forward if the
BLADE pedals are depressed first!
Start and Stop blade as follows:
STEP 1; Shift the BLADE lever forward and to the right
to ON and hold in position. Then depress the BLADE
pedals - keep your heel(s) on the pedals to "lock" the
blade into the mowing (rotating) sequence.
NOTE: If STEP 1 is followed, the blade will rotate
whenever the engine is running.
STEP 2: To stop the blade, remove your heel(s)
from the BLADE pedals. The spring loaded BLADE
lever will then snap rearward to OFF.
NOTE: The BLADE lever can be forced into OFF
position while the BLADE pedals are depressed, by
pushing the BLADE lever inward, and then pull rear¬
ward into OFF.
NOTE: If the BLADE lever moves SLOWLY rearward
rather than snapping back, the belt may be too
slack, or the linkage may need lubrication.
Adjust the belt and lubricate the mower (as describ¬
ed in the SERVICE section), and check the blade
stopping time. If the time exceeds 3 seconds, adjust
the blade brake as described on page 9. If the stopp¬
ing time still exceeds 3 seconds, the mower should
not be operated until inspected/repaired by your
dealer.
