Blade Brake/PTO Adjustment
The blade engagement pedal should be adjusted
so that if you depress it about 3/4" from the front of
the slot, it should start engaging the deck belt. The
PTO (power take off) switch is located in the blade
brake slot on the left side of the upper frame. See
Figure 20 inset. The brake engagement pedal
needs to make contact with the PTQ switch for the
engine to start,
Under normal operation, the blade engagement pedal
should not require frequent adjustment. However,
perform the following test periodically and make sure
that it is in fine working condition.
