8. If the meter reading is 3.5 amps or above, the

malfunctioning).

Clutch Burnishing Procedure
The clutch should be burnished as part of the pre-
delivery service, or whenever a new clutch is installed.
Burnishing polishes the clutch plate, allowing for
smooth clutch engagement.
With a PTO driven attachment installed (i.e., mower,
snowthrower, or tiller), run the engine at half throttle.
Engage and disengage the clutch 5 times (10 seconds
on/10 off).
Increase engine RPM to ¾ to full throttle. Engage and
disengage clutch 5 times (10 seconds on/10 seconds
off). Check and adjust the PTO clutch air gap (not
required on 2000 and later models).
Gauge, Fuel
Figure 3 mvc-104
Purpose
This gauge indicates fuel level (Figure 3).
How it Works
The meter movement moves in proportion to the
amount of resistance provided by the fuel level sender
in the tank. The movement is dampened to
compensate for movement of the fuel in the tank.
