Check Attachment Brake
With the attachment clutch disengaged,
brake pad must contact attachment pulley.
With attachment clutch engaged, brake pad
must be a minimum of 1.6 mm (1/16") from
pulley.
If there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16") gap,
loosen idler adjustment nut and move idler
away from belt. Position idler to achieve a
1.6 mm (1/16") minimum brake pad gap
and a 12.7 – 22.2 mm (1/2 – 7/8") gap
between the plastic roller and the frame.
See Figure 26.
IMPORTANT: If adjustments cannot be
brought into specified ranges, see your
dealer for repair.

not touch the belt.
