Checkthe PTOclutch adjustment after every 250 hours of
operation. Also perform the following procedure if the clutch

installed.
1. Remove key from ignition switch and disconnect spark
plug wires to prevent the possibility of accidental
starting while the PTOis being adjusted.
2. See Figure31. Note the position of the 3 adjustment
windows (A) in the side of the brake plate and the
nylock adjustment nuts (B).
3. Insert a .012 in.-.015 in. (2,5-4 mm) feeler gauge (C)
through each window, positioning the gauge between
the rotor face and the armature face as shown in
Figure 32.
4. Alternately tighten the adjustment nuts (B, Figure 31)
until the rotor face and armature face just contacts the
gauge.
5. Checkthe windows for an equal amount of tension
when the gauge is inserted and removed, and make any
necessary adjustments by tightening or loosening the
adjustment nuts.
Note: Theactual air gap between the rotor and armature may
vary even after performing the adjustment procedure. This is
due to dimensional variations on component parts, and is an
acceptable condition.

blades and mower drive belt should come to a
complete stop within five seconds after the electric PTO
