Adjusting the Electric Clutch
The clutch is adjustable to ensure proper engagement and
proper braking. Check adjustment after every 100 hours of
operation.
1. To adjust clutch, tighten or loosen lock nuts on flange
studs (Fig. 38).
2. Check adjustment by inserting feeler gauge thru slots
next to studs (Fig. 38).
3. The proper disengaged clearance between the clutch
plates is 0.012–0.018 inch (0.30-0.45 mm). It will be
necessary to check this clearance at each of the three
slots to ensure the plates are parallel to each other.

Servicing the Brakes
Service Interval/Specification
Before each use, check brakes on both a level surface and
slope.
Always set the parking brake when you stop the machine or
leave it unattended. If the parking brake does not hold
securely, an adjustment is required.
Checking the Brake
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the PTO.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Push the neutral/brake lock forward to set the brake.
4. Rear wheels must lock when you try to push the
machine forward or backward. Adjustment is required if
the wheels turn and do not lock. Refer to Adjusting the
Brake on page 32.
5. Release the brake and move neutral/brake lock to the
neutral position. Move the machine lightly,
approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm). Wheels should rotate
freely.
6. If both conditions are met, no adjustment is required.
