BLADE ENGAGEMENT ADJUSTMENT

4.1 BLADE ENGAGEMENT ADJUSTMENT
The blade is run from the engine using a «V» belt
and is engaged by a stretcher worked from the
lever.
After a certain amount of use the belt can become
longer which can result in malfunctioning, i.e.:
– belt slipping = belt stretched
– difficulty in disengaging, with a stiff lever and
the blade continuing to run = belt shortened
In both cases the stretcher needs to be adjusted.
The length of the spring (1) must be adjusted with
the blade engaged and the cutting deck in position
«1», because in other positions the length can vary
considerably.
Loosen the nuts (2) and screw or unscrew them on
the control rod (3) in order to obtain a distance of
77-79 mm between the bracket (4) and the inside
of the washer (5).
When the adjustment has been made, screw the
nuts (2) back on.
When the blade engagement has been adjusted it is
always advisable to ...
u Check that the blade brake is working correctly
[see 4.2].
