C.
Use a pneumatic line to blow out any debris
from under the brake pole and around the
brake spacers.
D.
Re-torque each bolt (M6 x 1) to 13 N∙m (10
ft-lb) +/-0.7 N∙m (0.5 ft-lb).
E.
Using a 0.010 inch thick feeler gauge, verify
that a gap is present between the rotor and
armature face on both sides of the brake
pole as shown.
Note:
Due to the way the rotor and
armature faces wear (peaks and valleys), it
is sometimes difficult to measure the true
gap.

•
If the gap is less than 0.010 inch,
then reinstall the shim and reference
Troubleshooting (page 69)
.
•
If the gap is sufficient, proceed to the
safety check in step
.
F.
Perform the following safety check:
i.
Sit on the seat and start the engine.
ii.
Make sure that the blades do not
engage with the PTO switched off
and the clutch disengaged.
If the clutch does not disengage,
install the shim and reference
Troubleshooting (page 69)
.
iii.
Engage and disengage the PTO
switch 10 consecutive times to
ensure that the clutch is functioning
properly. If the clutch does
not engage properly, reference
Troubleshooting (page 69)
.
