of service.
The clutch has a built-in brake
that stops the pulley within 5 seconds.
Eventually,
the internal
brake will wear
which may cause the mower blades
to
not engage,
or, to not stop as required.

should
be made by your
nearest
authorized
service
center/
department.

clutch and
ignition
switches
are in "OFF" position.
