clear quill assembly pulleys when the mower clutch lever is
in the engaged position.
2. If the canter quill brake pod does not clear thara is too much
slack inthe mowerclutch engagement cable. The springcan
be repositionad on the idler arm extension in an aitamate
hole orthe cable conduit end can be adjusted at the pulley
support bracket to eliminate excess slack in engagement
system. _.
3. In the disengagad position there shouldbe notension on the
mower deck clutch spring. There should be only enough
slack as to allow approximately 1 inch total sideways move-
ment ofthe cable-end/spring-end junction. Thisensuresthat
the brake is exerting proper pressure to stop the center and
left hand blade effectively.
4. Check adjustment on right hand brake pad. Locknut on end
of brake rod should be approximately 1/8 inch from brake
