TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH
The electric clutch should provide years of
service. The clutch has a built-in brake
that stops the pulley within 5 seconds.
Eventually, the internal brake will wear
which may cause the mower blades to not
engage, or, to not stop as required.
Adjustments should be made by your
nearest authorized service center/depart-
ment.

tion switches are in =OFP position.
