9. If needed, loosen the screws holding the switch
and adjust the switch.
Electric Clutch Adjustment
No adjustment necessary. However when the clutch
brake has worn to the point where the clutch no
longer engages consistently, the shim can be removed
to extend the clutch life.

Removing the Shim:
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage parking brake. Allow
the machine to cool completely before starting
these instructions.
2. Using a pneumatic line, blow out any debris
from under the brake pole and around the brake
spacers.
3. Check the condition of the wire harness leads,
connectors, and terminals. Clean or repair as
necessary.

7. Brake pole
4. Verify that 12V is present at the clutch connector
when the PTO switch is engaged.
5. Measure the gap between the rotor and armature.
If the gap is greater than .04 inch (1 mm), proceed
with the following steps:
A. Loosen both brake mounting bolts one-half
to one full turn (see Figure 33).
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 10 ft-lb (13
N-m) +/-0.5 ft-lb (0.7 N-m).
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.)

My mower has gotten slower in reverse, what can I do to fix this
To fix a slow reverse issue on an Exmark Vantage mower, follow these steps:
1. Check the bypass valve – Make sure it is closed tightly. A loose valve can cause drive issues.
2. Inspect the drive or pump belts – Look for worn, loose, or broken belts and replace them if needed.
3. Check if belts are off a pulley – Reinstall the belt if it has slipped off and ensure pulleys are in correct working position.
4. Adjust tracking – Turn the left-hand adjustment rod in 1/4 turn increments in the direction needed until the mower tracks correctly.
These steps can help restore proper reverse speed and function.
